 Re ACS, at Watton, they repaired a D200 for me as a 'service' then converted it to wide spectrum, UV to IR. The D200 was low shutter count but had been dropped on the right hand side strap anchor and it had dinged in, damaging the printed circuit board inside.

I don't remember the cost but it was very reasonable, they had a faulty camera they cannibalised the PCB from. I don't use the UV-IR D200 a lot but it's still working OK.

They have also serviced lenses for me, both Nikon and other makes, no issues, they 'found' some iris blades for my Nikkor ais 300mm f/2.8, focusing was like silk when it came back to me. A joy to use.

I still love and use the D3, the D800 is a different tool altogether. I doubt I will photograph Motor sports, rugby or football with the D800! Nor use it for general photography. Night sky and studio work only I think, maybe landscapes but I don't really know how to do landscapes, maybe I should learn...
