A guy dropped off a Nikon F3 at my bench in Tucson and told me 'just clean the mirror, don't touch anything else,' then watched me the whole time | Camera Repairers - Thought Shares
Oh man this hits home. Had a guy bring in a Canon AE-1 last year and he stood right at my shoulder the whole time telling me which screws to touch first. Like buddy, I've done this a hundred times, the mirror doesn't need a babysitter. The funny part is these are always the people who never actually shot the camera much, the ones who do just hand it over and let you work. I just talk real calm and keep my hands where they can see them, seems to settle them down.
