Hello,

Not sure off hand.

You can certainly ship your camera to us. Due to a busy schedule, our current turnaround time is 5-7 business days.

Wow, I'm surprise I've only seen this thread today.
Yasir, you'll be hearing from me soon.

I dropped off my 5Dmk2 yesterday for a good sensor cleaning and Yasir informed me he will be out of the country for the entire month of November.

So if you need your sensor cleaned be sure to drop it off asap before he leaves. Otherwise he'll be back on December 1st.

I just got my Canon 5dmk2 back from Yasir at Professional Camera Repair for a cleaning... I usually try to get these done every 6 months or so but this time I went about 9 month.

Note: I have a 5dmk2 and have the sensor cleaning option turned on as well as routinely use a small rocket blower to clean out the sensor cavity and there is still an accumulation of dust on the sensor. WoW!

$65 for APS-C crop sensors and $85 for Full-Frame sensors.

Just got the email that my camera is ready to be picked up!

I got it cleaned for more than one reason. I'm going to be sending in the camera to Nikon (within the next few months) because of the D7000 oil spots on sensor issue. Not to mention there are few blemishes from the factory on the sensor. I just wanted before and after professional cleaning to prove that it was indeed oil spots before I send it in. Yasir agreed on that front and cleaned it awesomely. So now I just got to blaze that shutter a bit and find more spots then send it in to Nikon with proof.

Yes, I just took mine in for its annual bath and tune up. The sensor wasn't quite as filthy as it was last year, but it was still pretty gross.

Thanks again, Yasir!
