Camera Servicing

Sensor Cleaning

Your camera's sensor can accumulate dust, smears and smudges, and occasionally needs to be cleaned to ensure peak performance in every shot. That sensor, however, is very delicate and can be damaged if not cleaned by an experienced technician. Thankfully, the experts at McBain are here to help! We can safely clean your image sensor and get you back to shooting top quality photos in no time.

Drop off your DSLR or mirrorless camera for cleaning at a McBain location nearest you. For inquiries please email us at sensorcleaning@mcbaincamera.com.

Sensor Cleaning $70.00 per camera

Lens Calibrations

Lens calibrations improve the focus accuracy of your lens, ensuring your shots have the highest degree of sharpness! Lenses can be calibrated to any SLR with a micro focus adjustment option. Sigma and Tamron lenses that are compatible with their respective docks can also be calibrated to any camera.

Some older lenses and lenses using an adapter are not eligible for lens calibration. To learn if your lens can be calibrated, please email us at lenscal@mcbaincamera.com or contact one of our eight convenient locations.

To get your lens calibrated please bring your camera and lens to any McBain Camera location.

Lens Calibration $50.00 per lens, per camera
