Nikon F100 - coupling contacts cover

[Craigus]

Hi All

I have recently purchased an F100 and it was sold without the cover for the coupling contacts on the base of the body as pictured. I am struggling to track one down and would really appreciate any help in finding one! I am in the UK but don't mind ordering from overseas if need be.

Thanks!

Welcome home.
Ebay has a section with used parts. Unfortunately I can never find the thing twice, it's pretty annoying to me.

But!
Vintage camera parts or vintage camera repair parts should get you close.

Damn. I had a couple laying around. I’ll see if I can find them. If so, no charge.

Thanks @John Koehrer I have had a good look through eBay for 30 minutes but struggling to find the right thing!

@Kiron Kid if you can find one that would be amazing! I'm sure I can manage a small contribution!

Good luck .
I've been looking for the same part for my f100 .
I'll be keeping my eye on this thread !

Craigus,
Yeah I stumble on it once in a while and forget the search term that got me there. Then. I forget to write the address down or bookmark the fool thing.

Hi there, I know this was years ago, but I am looking for the same rubber coupling cover and wonder if you’d still have any available for sale? Thanks!

I have a f100 in front of me now. What is that coupling for?

Those contacts are used by a battery grip, e.g. https://www.keh.com/shop/nikon-autofocus-mb15-multi-pwr-high-speed-batt-pack-f100-219795.html

Thanks for pointing that out. I was curious because the battery pack for the N80 only has the two battery contacts.

So did the seller has the battery grip too? I bet the cover is in the battery grip.

Well, battery pack for N80 provides only the power and nothing else. Judging by the photos of MB-15, it provides power, vertical shutter release button, drive mode selector, mode wheel and I can see an additional button whose function is probably explained in the manual. Hence so many power contacts, unlike MB-16

Nice, so more than just more batteries! Always wondered why one would want that for the F100, as the F100 already takes the 4 AA cells (that the battery adapters for the N75 and N80 provide).
