Hi Sherm, I can send you some photos if you give me a little time to dig them out, opened up an EM a few months ago but set it aside for a while (please...
My EM has a meter that only reads when the shutter is not cocked. As soon as the meter is cocked, the needle jumps up to the top and stays there until after...
Recently aquired Ft3 via ebay, someone has attempted a repair to the meter by removing shutter ring etc,in the process the shutter indicator in the viewfinder...
Hi everyone, Enjoy the group immensely and have learned quite a few tricks. My main interest is repair of Nikon Nikonos series of underwater cameras. Does...
Hi Phil Interesting. I don't think that the mechanical settings (B and 1/90 sec) are relevant, nor the flash trigger, those are all 'built in' functions of the...
Hello I just bought my first f3 and noticed that when I remove the md4 coupling cover one of the contacts sits lower than the rest is this normal? Thanks Mark...

This is the 'NikonRepair' group. Even though your camera does not seem to be broken, yet, may I offer a suggestion? Your questions may be addressed by...
I bought an FA which only seems to work on M250 and B. When I set it to any other setting (manual, A, S or P), I can't depress the shutter release. I changed...
I've got a 50/1.8 AIS lens with a very sluggish diaphragm, probably oil on the blades. Even in our 40 degree plus (Celcius) temperature, it is very sticky. Can...
hi out there, new in this group i come up with a hard to answer question: i just bought a F2 photonic with a dp-2 - but the exposure meter will not work at...
Hi Peter First make sure you pull the winder lever out to turn on the meter. Does the self test work? If so the problem seems to be with the meter. If no self...
Yes! In fact, I can even sell you a kit to re-seal your Nikon. Is the foam you're worried about the mirror damper foam? Has it gotten onto the focus screen,...
