My grandmother's 1962 Kodak Retina went from blurry to sharp after a CLA last month
I used to think the lens was just soft on that old folder, but a $95 clean and adjust in Seattle made it feel like a whole different camera. When I shot the same street corner at f/8, the brick detail on the before roll was mush and the after roll looks like it could be from a modern prime. Has anyone else had a similar night and day swing after a CLA on a 60 year old camera, or did I just get lucky with the repair guy?

Man that's the exact same thing I saw with my dad's old Pentax after a CLA last year. Honestly the difference was so big I checked the serial number twice to make sure they didn't swap the body on me. If your shutter speeds and focus ring were both gummed up, that alone will wreck your sharpness way more than people expect.
