NY TIMES STORY HERE

Marty Forscher, whose intimate knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the camera — and of the myriad ways in which photographers can unsettle them — made him for decades the most sought-after camera repairman in the country, died on Sept. 30 in Pittsfield, Mass. He was 87 and lived in Pittsfield.




For more than 40 years, Mr. Forscher ran Professional Camera Repair Service in Midtown Manhattan. Founded in 1946, the shop was a Mecca for generations of camera owners, from the world’s most celebrated fashion, advertising and news photographers to wedding portraitists, threadbare students, bejeweled celebrities and anxious tourists.

Did you ever have to see him - professionally to get something repaired? He sounds like a one in a million.
