Instead of 8 sec. I get 6 secs. The same can be seen easily until 1 sec shutter speed. I'm not sure what happens in the faster speeds, but I think I feel that...

Hi From my experience these speeds are very voltage sensitive - try a new battery. If that doesn't do it there is an adjustment but you must remove the entire...
Hello, I own a Nikon FE camera that has been acting up ever since it was given to me. You can only use it on M90 and B shutter speeds, on all other speeds, the...
Wouter A classic problem is in the "FRE". The FRE is a printed circuit resistor on a small circle of glass. It is mounted under the film speed setting dial...
Wouter lou is right. That is a problem with FE's, but did you check the battery compartment to see if it was ok? Try a good cleaning with a Q-tip, and some...

Russ; If the Nikon FE meter operates but just doesn't deliver any speeds it is most likely the main shutter magnet or control switch is at fault. A cleaning...
Vinegar might be better than nail polish remover. Never thought of using it. I've just used lemon nail polish remover and a pencil eraser..... it has always...
HI Guys, Tend to lurk and pick up what I need as I go along. Hey no posts from me is a good thing, right? Means my Nikons still working! Okay, the question. If...
Frank You are too optimistic!! It is not merely a linear resistor material, but rather a series of metal pieces (very tiny) fused on the plate like a printed...
Hi Lou, Okay, was a bit optimistic. I found some illustrations courtesy of Google Images. Does the brush pass over the radial strips or the continuos ring?...
Frank The net is great. I also found the google picture! The rotating contact moves at right angles to the radial metal pieces. I don't know how the...
This happens during Manual mode. So it's the shutter itself. But I will check what happens at Auto, by seeing the selected speed vs. shutter sound. Anyway, I...

I am forwading this message that was posted to the NikonD2 and NikonMF lists. Rick Housh was fellow co-moderator of this list and was a longtime e-mail friend....
Wouter, You really need to remove the top cover to see the FRE on an FE, and then you might not see the crack unless you remove the FRE assembly itself. To...
Seyhun, The shutter is electronically timed, so both auto and manual speeds are affected by the circuitry. 25% is within Nikon's tolerance for shutter speeds,...
