Here at AbelCine we are focused on offering the highest quality optical services. Our technicians and tools are uniquely qualified to maintain and repair the most precise lenses available today. We recently started renting and selling the Leica Summicron-C primes, and naturally we wanted to offer the same level of service on these great lenses.

AbelCine recently installed a Gecko-Cam Collimator Mount Head and Projector in our optical service facility. Our technicians use some of the most advanced optical calibration tools available, and the Gecko-Cam instruments are perfect tools for maintaining our clients' lenses and our own rental inventory.

AbelCine is pleased to announce that we are now an Authorized Reseller for RED Digital Cinema products within the US region.

This week our lens technicians received Canon lens training from Daniel Umeki, a Tech Support Specialist at Canon. Working with all factory supplied tools, our team was trained on complete disassembly and overhaul of the Canon Cine-Servo Cinema Zoom 17-120.

Our service technicians are well equipped to handle all of your camera's general maintenance and repair needs. Our NY and LA locations provide services for your complete equipment package, so you can enjoy the convenience of a one-stop facility that maintains your entire equipment package from cameras to lenses, monitoring to batteries, and accessories to cabling.
