hi guys, I've scored a wonderful Canon Canonent QL17. I guess I need to have somebody clean/service it. Can anyone recommend a trustworthy camera technician in KL/PJ that can do a good job ?

QUOTE(zhuanyuanheng @ May 6 2011, 02:01 PM) You can either use the heading aid batts, or replacement PX625 batts, which are more expensive. The hearing aid batts are rated at 1.55V which is a little higher than the 1.35V of mercury batts. They should still work, but the light meter readings might be a little off. |

QUOTE(yoong @ May 6 2011, 12:58 AM) Any. Silver ones would be great, although anything will do. Looking for viewfinders, optical ones as well as square/almost square lens hood, like the classic cams use lah. Know anywhere?Found one in YL Pudu Plaza, black voigtlander 35mm. But that's all that they have :s |

You can actually buy PX625 batteries from Cheah. According to him, that battery is still available in China and IINM sold at RM5.00 each. |
