... what ... N8008s/F801s ... First, I think an 8008s is still worth more than that (even on eBay), if it was purchased as "working, good condition" return it...
Thanks to Bob for encouraging and to Mike for the arguments. I purchased the camera as working and rarely used. Seller is a nice guy, he didn't use the camera...
I have two MD-1 problems (for the same drive): 1- It is said in the MD-1 manual that if there is no film in the camera it could run as "C" (Continuous mode)...
Hi Sergey, I've just dropped a call with Nikon Italy, and for the top cover of a F90x they asked about 90Euros, so I hope to find a donor body to obtain the...
Hi, I have a nikon F801s (the european n8008s) that I bought new and I noticed the crack on the prism and near the left strap lug a few years ago. The camera...
Hi Jacques, I must admit I haven't read my MD-1 manual. I think the manual must be wrong, as there is no way the MD-1 or the F2 can tell if there's film in the...
Hi all, I have a 200mm f4 ai SS#719972 a 1977 to somthing model and very sharp wide open. I got it at a low price because it was missing the ring at the front...
Peter, Have you checked out Pacific Rim Camera. They are a good source for older Nikon parts and those AI conversion kits. If you can't find what you are...
Hello Sover. Thank's again for your precious comments. I think I will live with the MD-1 as it is right now, unless I win the lottery. I am not "brave" enough...
You also have to remove the advance lever and the shutter speed dial. It's been a long time. Brian ... __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!...
Hi! I have a FM2n, I used it quite harsh conditions before such as in really misty place (changing flim and lenses), I have also used it at sea-side and in the...
Hi, It depends on your will and skill to open the camera and clean fragile pieces of glass. If you want a good cleaning and don't feel like taking the top off...
Hello, Dennis. A pointed tip spanner is the "proper" tool, however you can improvise with a cheap pair of needle nose pliers. Look at a Dollar Store or Family...
A small pair of snap ring pliers can be used for these screws. Did you ruin the other screws trying to take them off the base plate? Sorry to say this, but it...
Tony, I appreciate your concern. This is one of 4 F2's I have. I shot commercially in New York for a number of years. Since Professional Camera Repair on...
Hi Dennis, A stuck shutter on the F2 can be a number of things. Some faults can be resolved on the base mechanisms, some needed to remove the top plate, see my...
Hi, I have a Micro Nikon 55mm lens, is is hard to turn the focus ring! I don't know how to clean it and what's kind of greases that I can use for. Please give...
Hi Sover, Thanks for your response. I'll be careful when I take the F 2 apart. If I run into problems I won't do it. I did pick up a set of Crescent...
Hi Dennis, I am not sure what Ronasol, but I assume it's some sort of cleaning agent. Try not to use too much of it. I never flood the F2, as I know flooding...
... I'm not helping much by misspelling it again. It is spelled "Ronsonol". I just looked it up, which I should have done in the first place. - Rick Housh -...
So, who said I could spell? ... From: Rick Housh To: NikonRepair@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, September 11, 2004 4:48 PM Subject: Re: [NikonRepair] Re: F 2 ...
Hello All I have a Nikkormat FTN that has a problem with the shutter sticking. My question is, can the shutter be removed from the camera, or is such an...
It pretty much yes and no - the Nikkormats are rather "modular in construction - very simply put - big pieces come off together instead of having to take the...
This a short note from a satisfied customer re Sover Wong's F2 repair service ... I sent Sover a pre-AI F2 on August 27, for his Basic Service on the F2 body...
Whilst rewinding a roll of film with the above camera the rewind crank fell off and a small rod dropped to the ground, which I luckily recovered. Is it easy to...
