Yeah, that is why I am passing. Only know that lowest number is $380 for the CLA, plus additional $$$ for anything else done. And if cant be fixed, still $380 down (plus the camara price of course)... forget it... will stick to the trusty old mechanical cameras.

Think I am going to pass on this one... opened the top cover, and the capacitor has definitely leaked, and nos ture what I will find on the other one behind the front cover... I was quoted $380.00 for CLA plus anything else that is found and add shipping and import duties when returned.

Hello All! I have been lent a Contax T2 for trail run... so far, all good, except for a jittery lens in manual mode. I have been told by Nippon Photoclinic that this might be as simple as dirty contacts beneath the main switch... Anyone can share how the switch is removed for cleaning? I...

How did you recalibrate the meter? Interesting topic!

Thanks! Mirror on the way, so we'll see how it turns out. Thanks again!

VERY INTERESTED!!! I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!!!

Thanks for the feedback. Just ordered the mirror via the link above, so will advise when done. Thanks again to all!

Saw that mirror in eBay, thanks for the link. Is the work pretty much straightforward? Can it be accomplished by removing the camera top only and removing the meter as well? I really don’t care much for the meter for the camera, as I never use it anyway. Again, the body is soooo good, and...

Hello! I have a real mint condition Olympus Pen FT, but tired of the dim screen view (and the fact the I use a hand meter when using it, although the camera meter works correctly), and I am thinking of replacing the mirror to a FV model. Anyone knows where I can purchase this mirror? I was...

Thank you, especially with the OM-4!!!

Wide… 24 or 28- upwards. Maybe up to 50 or 70.

Hello All! Thanks for the input... sorry I wasn't clear... typing faster than thinking. The reason for my post is that I am planning on taking only 1 lens with the F3 (along with my Rollei 35) on this trip. The lower F-stop reason is for obviously low light conditions, as I don't really like...

Hello All! Picking your brains here. Thinking of an upcoming trip I have, I plan on taking one of my F3 bodies. I would like to know what your recommendation is, based on experience, what would be the best fast zoom Nikkor zoom lens, AI or AI-S, for travel. Appreciate your input on this...

Unfortunately, no one in the US seems to be servicing these bodies, and the manual, like you mentioned, don't have much clear info/images. I have always wondered if there is some type of switch under the advance mechanism that is casing this type of issue... it is VERY strange, I haven't heard...
