Because we recently talked about the Nikon F4 again, whose weak point is the aperture control, or more precisely, a drop of oil that has been missing over the decades.
Today I put an MF-23 Multi Control Back on my work F4, which had been unused for years (decades?) on another F4.
Since I want to imprint the date of the shot on the negative between the pictures, I found two LR44 button cells, put them in and all functions appeared on a flawless LCD.
As if time had never passed, the camera and data back communicate perfectly with each other via gold-plated contacts. Setting the current date is no problem.
Both parts are probably around 35 years old and have been used by the previous owners.
This is another reason why it is worth repairing the aperture control if necessary.
This camera can accompany a long and productive photographer's life
