It would be nice if they had more parts in stock but there are a lot of lenses and camera and thus, a lot of part. And they do pay the round trip shipping by FedEx. And you can get a loaner quickly.

How’s this: I paid about $650 to have them repair my 200-600. They needed so many parts that they sent me a brand new one with no additional $$. That ain’t shabby.

with love, artie

Great success !

I don’t know what’s wrong with Sony but their repair centers suck big time !

I had my a7R IV sent for repair in NJ for broken front cover. They didn’t have parts in stock and had to order it from Japan. All took 4 weeks.

I don’t understand how a repair center doesn’t have a stock of main parts and how ordering parts ,even from Japan, takes weeks.
