PC-contact cover

[RalphLambrecht]

my D800 comes with a nice rubber cover to protect the PC contact;my older FMs and FEs are missing such a cover.my google searches only discovered little covers to cover up phone or tablet cameras. Does anybody know a source for these PC contact covers to protect them from oxidation and dirt?

Something like this? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Flash-PC-S...001376?hash=item260a8145a0:g:m7EAAOSwrQ5b87xU

Can't you get two more of those D800 covers as a spare part from a Nikon dealer, or an online spare party seller? They should fit any PC port, after all. Unless Nikon made a thread into the housing above the actual port, so that the cover would be specific to the camera.

I guess I should try and see if the one on my Olympus em5 fits my film cameras...

I don't need them myself at the moment but I might get a set, just in case, although I know I will lose track of them in the meantime and will have to reorder some more when I do actually need them!

Call Nikon they may be able to help. Currently the Df uses the same type of cover. Back in 2004 I called Nikon and they sent me a couple of them free. Later they said they don't have any more but now there is the Df I hope they have some new ones now.

Who needs them, aside certain configurations?

Concerning dirt to me they only make sense if the camera otherwise is splash-proof. What the great majority of our film cameras is not.

That's if they even turn up !
I bought those of that seller you linked to , a few days later they cancelled my order and gave a refund with no explanation or contact or anything .
Crap service however you look at it , even if they were out of stock a simple email stating this would be just polite .
The item was still listed as available to buy though .
They got negative feedback for that one .

Better look at another seller .

Good point!

I always look for the seller with a good seller rating selling the same item, even if it does cost a little more for the better service.
