JD Hartman Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Any suggested repair facilities for getting a Sekonic meter calibrated in the NYC metro area? I've already called Sekonic's facility in Elmsford, Long Island, someplace in NJ or NYC would be preferred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Chris Keth Posted December 9, 2010 Premium Member Share Posted December 9, 2010 Everyone I know sends them to Quality Light Metric in Los Angeles. They're pretty much the standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timHealy Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Sekonic has no means to repair their own meters? There was a gentleman who used to run a small company called Empire who did meters in NYC. He moved his operations to NJ some time ago. Maybe 15 years. I think Springfield. But haven't used him in some time. I use to send a Spectra Classic analog meter to him as that meter was very fragile. But it was oh so graceful. If you can't find him or he is no longer in business then I would say you need to go west. There is a place called Essex camera in Moonachie NJ near Giants Stadium that repairs still cameras. Don't know if they do meters but maybe worth a shot. They have repaired my Widelux in the past. Best Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD Hartman Posted December 10, 2010 Author Share Posted December 10, 2010 Sekonic's repair facility is on Long Island, NY. For reasons of convenience and expediency, I was looking for a closer facility where I could just drop off the meter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Tim O'Connor Posted December 10, 2010 Premium Member Share Posted December 10, 2010 I'm on the East Coast too. I sent my Spectra Classic to Spectra in Burbank last year and they turned it around real fast. They also did a Minolta for me too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doyle Smith Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Back in day when I was on the East Coast, I used Empire in NYC with satisfactory results. As was noted before they are in NJ now. Empire Exposure Meter Service 124 Briar Hills Cir Springfield, NJ 07081 (973) 376-6036 Out here on the West Coast, I've used Quality Light-Metric and occasionally Spectra in Burbank for Spectra products. If you don't want to use Sekonic, I'd probably box it up well and send to Quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD Hartman Posted December 24, 2010 Author Share Posted December 24, 2010 Thanks for the information on Empire, exactly what I was looking for. However tried the number, no answer, no answering machine and I fear that, as a sole proprietor, he may have retired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
