    Wilhelms scopes and optics is the only person I know of in NZ that does that sort of thing
    be polite when you talk to him, he is a bit easy to piss off
    fixes my binos every time I get fogging issues

    There’s a camera repair shop in Timaru that probably deal with other optics too. Also a bloke in Wellington, I believe.

    (Very specific, I know..)

    @StrikerNZ that's the camera optics shop in Timaru which was closed down after the 60+ year-old owner went off the rails on meth-amphetamine.

    The guy owed people all over the country as he never did any complete repairs, just asked for a deposit first and then more money to 'complete the repair' but spent it all on 'P'.

    He lost everything...
    A good job and a good wife has been the ruin of many a good hunter.

    Different shop to that one. Don’t think he did much in the way of repairs, more in the camera and telescope retail business.
