The Lens
Doctor web site
Many people visiting the site will know my name Eddie Houston, more synonymous with Rock Groups, and guitars, having built up a successful career in the music industry playing with many famous bands including Thin Lizzy, Creed, Pilot and many more. Previous to this I worked with Canon as a Technical Manager repairing and overseeing the running of both a photographic department, and photocopier repairs. Photography never left me and I suppose the art of repairing particularly FD range has always been with me. With the influx of adapters and other disciplines these old lenses which are far superior in engineering and optical characteristics still have a valid place in today's photography world, and more so now with the advent of DSLR HD Video.
