There comes a moment in time when every photographer or film maker has to reach out to the expert who knows every part of their camera or lens. Whether their gear needs to be revitalized, repaired, restored, reinvented or simply serviced it is these expert technicians that work behind tools to keep you doing what you love to do.

Wayne Rogers is one of those guys who not only has an excellent sense of humour, but is able to tackle the most inconceivable faults or problems you might face when it comes to imaging.
