Hi folks, I'm writing an article about the Nikkormat FT3 and Nikon F2A cameras. Does anyone know if the Nikkormat FT3's focusing screen is glass or acrilan? ...

Chris, What topics will you cover regarding the F2A? Why not all F2 models? Now the usual questions: Audience? Size of article? Technical level? I have and...
Hi Phil, It will be mostly about the construction of the F2. I think it is one of the best SLR cameras ever made. I will be concentrating on F2A and F2AS, ...
... Chris, Sounds good. Don't forget to get into contact with Sover Wong, the F2 guru. If you need any photos, I'll be glad to photograph what I own. Or how...
Hi all, I found a Nikkormat FT buried in a cabinet at work this week (I guess it's been in the office since the '60s), and she's got an issue. When the film is...
Offhand, I'm going to guess the self-timer and the failure of the cocking mechanism are one and the same problem. If the self-timer is stuck right where it...
I recently got an FM that appears in very good condition. I can only find two faults with it. My primary concern at the moment is the failure of flash units to...
Hi, Tony. That is odd. Will the flash fire at 1/60? Jon Tony Chestnut <e084659@...> wrote: I recently got an FM that appears in very good condition. I...
Thanks, Tony. Please let me think about this for a while...you can of course do flash pictures at 1/30, but there must be a reason the 2 upper speeds are not...
Have you cleaned the flash contacts well, Tony? It is possible that at slower speeds they may be making contact while at faster speeds, they are not...
Do you have another camera to use to test the flash or do you have another flash to test on the camera to rule out the flash as being at fault? Jon Goodman...
Jon, I'm beginning to think along the same lines. I think the shutter flash contacts may need cleaning. The problem is that I am not a repair person and have...
Ed, I've tried two different flash units. Both on the hot shoe. One by chord. Tony ... another flash to test on the camera to rule out the flash as being at ...
Unfortunately I don't, Tony. Actually I have a set of Nikon repair manuals I was given on a CD, but the CD drive on my computer has quit working. I will try...
Jon, It would be great if you have a manual for the FM. The little camera is in extremely good condition. I would hate to give up without trying. I mentioned...
Sounds fine to me, Tony. I'll let you know what I find on the CD. The lines you're seeing is likely to be prism deterioration. Usually this was caused by...
Tony It seems to me that if you have used the plug in for your flash that the concept of dirty contact (blades) is not the answer. It is possible that you may...
Hi Phil, Thanks for the offer. I think I have enough bodies to get a photo of my F2A, but if I have any problems I'll get in touch. Best wishes, Chris...
Louis, I'm beginning to think that it is a bad contact at the source. As you point out, the problem still exists when connected at the plug. The hot shoe is...
Ok I have two lens which have this problem..a Nikon 18mm F4 AI and a Nikon 24mm F2.8 AI on both of these you can grab the focus ring and wiggle it a tad up and...
Jon, Do you know if any other Nikon models, such as the FE, use the same prism. Maybe I could find a parts camera for cheap. Tony ... The lines you're seeing...
The FM, FE, FA all use the same prism as far as I know. I have an FM parts camera, but I have decided it can be rescued, so I think I'll try to keep it...
Hi Everyone! Just a quick question: my eye-level (non-metered) Nikon F prism seems to be rattling around a bit inside of it's housing. Any advice on how to fix...
Hi, Cale. Merry Christmas! Yes, I think the instructions you mentioned should be a decent guide. When you get inside, you can usually bend the clamps a little...
