hi there after some advice please. I have two F5’s both are defective although otherwise in good condition. Basically I need to get the shutter out of one and into another. I have looked in horror at the diagrams on Camerarepair.net which are for the Nikon technicians but just wanted to ask if anyone had tried this or recommend anyone in Europe who might know about it. Thanks Toby

I've never heard of camerarepair.net and trying to access it my browser times out.

You could try the Nikon Service Center, Frankfurt. I don't know if Nikon works-on the F5 anymore. If they don't, they might be able to direct you to someone who does.
