Authorized Photo Service–Nikon Repair– Folding??

December 19, 2019

Nikon gear broken? Get to APS quickly!

Hi Everyone,

Many of you have some knowledge about the demise of the Nikon Authorized Repair Shop in Morton Grove (and reportedly elsewhere). Will they stay in business and if so, for how long? I heard the rumors so went to Morton Grove asap with a defective camera body. While there, I just had to enquire about the state of their business. All they know is that they don’t know since they, too, have heard the rumors but have received nothing definitive from Nikon USA. They are expecting a decision in January, 2020, but even that has no time scale. Without support from Nikon, they will have no current software programs and may even need to return some specialized tools.

If you have any defective Nikon gear, get over to Authorized Photo Service (aka APS) 1825 River Drive, Suite 100, Morton Grove, IL 60053. Before leaving home, I’d phone first: 847.966.4091, or email them at repair@authorizedphotoservice.com.  Yes, my camera is still there. Here’s hoping I’ll see it soon. BTW: They only repair Nikon stuff.

Weekly Photo Tip

Take the center column away

A definite Sign of Spring.

If your tripod has a center column, you will want to remove it before getting down to photograph spring flowers. Even with a 100-180mm focal length macro lens, your tripod will be too far from the subject. There are two options: 1. purchase a tripod with a removable center column or 2. just purchase a tripod that never had a center column. Of these two choices, I’d opt for the first one.

About Jack

A classically trained musician since childhood, Jack Carlson always had the “ear” of an artist. It was only a short step to develop the artist’s “eye” as well.

The portfolio of this certified photographer reveals images that emphasize mood and composition. Their purpose is to present a feeling in addition to portrayal of person, place or thing. Sometimes that feeling is nostalgia; other times it is serenity.

Each photograph tells a story.
