Sover, thanks for the help and all the information. I will someday take advantage of your expertise and send you one of my F2's. They both work perfectly at...
I had my two F2's reconditioned by Sover last year. Great job, of course, and I had Sover install the LED in one of the F2 meters. Great for low-light use. ...
... Nostalgia!???! This is one of the best, if not THE BEST, ever made mechanical SLRs. I have two of them, with motor drives. Still going strong after 35...
Hi, I bought a damaged 75-300 AF and having stripped it to clean it out found the iris has been wrecked and removed by someone. I'm looking for a parts donor...

Check to see if a correcting diopter lens has been screwed into the viewfinder window. If one is there removed by unscrewing and see if the image is in focus. ...

Well, my SB-600 has stopped working. When triggered from the D70 hot shoe, it does not flash and the display indicates maximum under exposure. The flash...
Hello everybody! I think this is not a big problem. I have a Nikkor 85/1,8 and it shows the wrong stop (it goes beyond 1,8). I have been told it should be a ...
Futz, Is the aperture ring opening and closing the diaphragm correctly? There really should be only one way it can go on and work correctly. To disassemble, ...

Received a beautiful bgn grade F with FTn finder from KEH yesterday and the camera and finder are in outstanding cosmetic condition. The finder is dead but...
Mark, welcome to the wonderful world of KEH bargains! But, are you sure it is fungus and not subtle desilvering of the prism? Fungus will appear on the outside...
RCB, took the camera to work today and looked at the finder with a strong magnifying glass and it looks like snowflakes inside the prism near the bottom...
One more thing I forgot to add, Mark: keep in mind the prism is a solid piece of glass. As such, it seems unlikely that whatever you see is inside as you...
RCB, thanks for the vote of confidence. This camera is a keeper and yes the fungus could be in the viewfinder, I never thought of that although I clearly see...
Mark: Robert Decker does an excellent job of restoring F metered prism finders to proper working condition. When I used his services last year the cost was...
Hi, Fungus is comon in the FTN finder, it usually shows up as two bars. The best way to fix it is to replace the prism. I found a mint prism from a web parts...
Rick and RCB, thanks for the advice and information re the FTn and fungus. I'll contact Robert Decker as I also have a dying DP-11 and see if it's worth it....
Just curious now, will the fungus in my FTn finder spread to my lenses? I've got an old, beat up 35-105/3.5-4.5 ais on it right now because it has a large...
Mark, If you have alternative finders to use, great. The best time to find a FTN finder is when your not looking. It does seem plain prisms are more pricy...
Hi to everyone :) I am looking for a new mount flange for my MF 500 f4P lens. I have had no luck with the local supplier here in Greece. Can someone help...
I can't find a reference, but I recall reading ,on several occassions,that placing an item with fungus, (lens,etc), in direct sunlight for several days will...
... Especially if you're already decided to get another prism and write that off as lost to fungus. A good experiment, too, in case you have to repeat that...
UV light will kill some fungus but if your fungus looks like mine there is no way sunlight will clean it. Some lenses/prisms are etched by the fungus and not...
