Please, someone could tell me how can I clean an interchangeable focusing screen, I made the stupid mistake to try to clean it and it doesn't ended well. Is there a special liquid or something I can use? Your advice will be much apreciated, thanks in advance...

Hi guys,

I just found my late father's Nikon FM2 in the store room along with Sigma 28-80mm f/3.5-4.5 (I can't find any info about this lens), Nikkor 135mm f/2.8, 2x auto TC and a flash. Well, I don't know how long it's been there, but they really need some good cleaning. Anybody knows where can I send them for cleaning in Selangor/KL area? How much it's gonna be for the body and the lenses?? Thanks in advance!

Hi Knife:

Sorry, I don't have any magic answers. The FM is mechanically operated, so it's not a battery or anything like that.... something is jammed, and someone will have to go in and take a look to find out what it is.

Hey, I have a Nikon FM camera.

The problem with it is that the winder for the camera is stuck. I'm not very good with camera terms but it's the thing when you wind back before taking a picture. Any ideas on what happened to it?

Hi David:

It's not urgent, but yes, I would replace the foam for 2 reasons: first, it's getting sticky and sooner or later the mirror will start sticking to it ... you still get your photo but it's awkward and inconvenient when this happens. Second, if the mirror foam is rotting, then the light seal foam around the back door is rotting too. This IS a functional issue because it will lead to light leaks that ruin your negatives.

You can get a good seal replacement kit with good instructions for about $10 from a fellow who sells on eBay under the name "interslice". I can personally vouch for the quality of his product and for his integrity. This is a very doable "do it yourself" job.

I dislodged some foam from around my FMs mirror while cleaning a grease spot off the focusing screen. I've exposed a couple of films that seem fine and certainly there's no noise increase. Should I get the foam replaced? I've had the FM from new 25years ago and never had the slightest malfunction. Touch wood.
Thanks David

Hi,
I bought an FM 2 with titanium shutter in perfect condition. The photographer who sold me, contacted me after a few days to tell me that the camera shutter could have the defective back to the serial number on the camera. You can confirm what photographer told to me?
thanks
Andrea

Hi Mark:

I just use what I have ... the FM2N being manual, there is no particular benefit in a dedicated flash unit. One of the legendary classic models is the Vivitar 283, which has a lot of power and flexibility if you don't mind the bulk and weight of it.

Hi all, I just bought a lovely Nikon FM2n and was wondering what flashguns existing users would recommend? Thanks for your help!

Hi Jeffrey:

I have never heard of any damage resulting from shooting without the foam in front of the mirror, and I've done a fair amount of it myself. The sticky, deteriorating foam residue can, however, make the mirror stick briefly in the up position, and of course it gets crud on your finder screen and mirror.

There are a number of people who offer a foam replacement kit to properly fix this, as well as replacing the foam light seals in the back which are probably also in equally bad shape and which can affect your photos. The best of these, in my experience, is Jon Goodman, who sells on eBay under the name "interslice". This is something that you can do yourself and it's well worth the small cost and effort.
