Replacing broken shutter EOS 1V

Sanchofilm — Thu, 16 May 2024 07:56:34 GMT

Hi,

I got two EOS 1V and unfortunately the shutters have gone bad on me. Given this is a discontinued camera. Does Any one know where I can get this serviced properly?

Thank you for the help.

camera repair shops in Michigan

This search in Safari brought a number of hits. Maybe another forum member has experience in that part of the country.

I searched all over Google and called. No one In Business has experience or wants to take this model of canon

Where to get it serviced or repaired isn't the problem getting the replacement shutter just might be however. You may be in a mail order situation for the repair and may only be able to get a used shutter assembly. After all that is a 25 year old camera and I suspect around $500 bucks to do it.

With shutter failure, these are likely both high use bodies. What does the film roll count show for lifetime usage?

If you want to stay with this style film body, I would seriously consider looking at ebay where they have a number of 1V bodies with low roll usage counts which would probably be a much better deal than replacing just the shutter assembly on a high usage camera body.

My 2nd canon 1v so f as this only doing this. But I suspect this thing over exposed line is just a prelude to blade failure

The EOS 1V was sold brand new until just a few years ago. Canon had stock of it long after manufacturing ceased. So a 1V is not necessarily "old". Parts may not be as unavailable as it's being made out to be.

Canon still lists the 1V as in-service, but does caution about parts availability.

So canon service might still fix shutters?

If they have the parts they should accept the bodies for repair. Contact Canon Service Center.
