Hey all,

my Pentax K-r has recently broken. It's not a major problem but does prevent me from easily taking manual shots (and that is the whole point of a DSLR anyway!) I was wondering if anyone knew somewhere in HCMC which would be a reliable place to take it to. I currently live here so repair time isn't a big issue.

Thanks in advance for the responses,

Maddy

You should be aware that a Vietnamese, armed with a screwdriver and a pair pliers, is ready and waiting for your business.

No need for clean rooms, just a blow of chili-laden air from the air is sufficient.

Do NOT take it in to any old company!

Ricoh owns Pentax and Pentax has a lens assembly plant in the north of the country.

Ricoh has an office in TP HCM but the wrong one for you - it's the imaging (copier) division.

Two high-end camera shops who carry names such as Nikon, Sony, Canon, etc. are:

VINH HUNG CAMERA
135 NGUYEN HUE
QUAN 1,TP HCM
Tel: [08] 39144921 - DD : 0903826261 - 0938121963
Email: contact@vinhhungcamera.com

AND

Khánh Long Camera
35 Lê Lợi
Q.1, TPHCM
ĐT: 08-38 213 230, 0962.34.35.36- Anh Đức, 0977 214 214 - Chị Kim Anh , 0986 900 911- Chị Kim Tiền
Email : contact@khanhlong.com

They might be able to advise you on repairs.

Canon, Nikon and Sony have company-owned Service Centres scattered through TP. HCM.

Thanks for the replies it's been really useful. I have found out that it's actually a really common problem with this model of camera. I just need to find some electrical contact solution and I'm in business...
