I am having trouble advancing the film. I suspect that it is set for double exposure, but I am not sure how to re-set it to advance for single exposure. Can you help.

Hi guys,

My Nikon FM needs a replacement focusing screen. If anyone here has a broken FM please contact me. I'd be more than happy to buy the unit from you to salvage the screen.

If anyone has an alternative solution, do share it with me as well.

Thanks :)

Hi Dave:

There are generally 2 possible causes for difficulty opening the back door. The most common is the foam light seals degrading and becoming sticky. When this happens, pulling up on the rewind knob releases the latch, but you have to pull back on the edge of the back door to release it from the sticky foam seals. You can replace these yourself with an inexpensive seal kit that you can find on eBay... the one that I personally recommend is by Jon Goodman, who sells on eBay under the name "interslice".

The second possibility is that the latch itself may be bent. This sometimes happens as a consequence of the above problem: you pull up on the knob, and when the door doesn't open you pull harder and harder. Eventually, you can pull so hard that you bend the latch, to the extent that it will no longer release. If this happens, the camera will need to be disassembled to repair the latch. It's not a major operation, but it will cost more than replacing the door seals. To avoid adding this insult to the injury, when you have difficulty opening the back, resist the urge to pull harder on the knob: it won't help, and it can make it worse.

I have a Nikon Fe that the back film door sticks on. I am not sure if it is in the release lever or not. I dont want to damage this camera & I dont want to have to keep prying it open either. Any suggestions?

I acquired a Nikon SLR body as part of a deceased estate. The serial number is FM 2293739. Apart from the Nikon name on the front of the body there are no other designations to identify the model. Can anyone identify this model for me please?

Hi Roma:

If you need a new mirror bumper, you probably also need light seals - they're pretty much made of the same stuff.

There is one very good source for these materials that I'm familiar with - his name is Jon Goodman, and he sells on eBay under the name "Interslice". His kits are top quality materials, sell for $10 or less last time I checked, and come with excellent instructions based on years of his own experience in doing these repairs.

If you don't find him on eBay, you can write to him at jon_goodman-at-yahoo.com

I'd appreciate if someone could solve one of my doubts.
Have chance to purchase FM2 body (according to speed dial it should be 'n'), with serial number N800 something. As i checked the functions it seemed to me that winding lever sometimes has 'sliding little bit different move'. It occured 4 or 5 times while winding it without film and always on slower speed..1/4, 1/2. Is it serious or just casual mafunction? Also, the upper corner (right thumb chrome) has slight deformation like it has been hit. Is it related? Then, the stop down lever or clutch (just below the bayonet) is scratched, but working. Any comment? Purchase price should be 100 euros in the kit with 35-70 AF Nikkor which zoom ring does not operate.
Branko
Thank you very much.
