I keep hearing that film camera repairs are dying, but my shop is busier than ever with them.

Younger people are buying broken cameras cheap and need them fixed, that's your new customer base. The old timers with their pristine Leicas aren't keeping shops alive anymore.

See kids fixing old cameras, @shane357, that's where the real business is now.

My local camera repair guy said he's booked three months out with Contax T2 and point-and-shoot repairs for people in their twenties. What's driving that shift? Are the older repair techs not passing down the knowledge, or is it just a totally different type of gear needing fixes?
