You guys recommended him when I had. Bronica lens that needed servicing. He did a great job at a reasonable price but seems like he’s no longer operating. Can anyone recommend someone else who can service/repair film cameras?

I send Miles and email before I read on his website that he was taking a step back. I got a reply from him giving me a price and timescale. It says on his site that he's not taking on new customers but I the email I sent was a reply to his invoice from my last repair so maybe I'm classed as an 'existing customer'?

I emailed Miles last year when rumours of his retirement first started to circulate, and his reponse was similar. To paraphrase: That he planned on scaling back his workload, but that he couldn't envisage a time where he would stop completely.
 
Similar story here, He said in email to me, when news of his retirement came out, that he wouldn't stop entirely as he likes fixing things. He has a Fothflex of mine which he is going to fix up with new shutter curtains when he gets time. It's a big job what with CLA so it's lucky I'm in no particular hurry.
