joseph_krause Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 I have recently acquired two Nikon F3 cameras (one F3 with standard DE2 prism and one F3P). In both cases the ISO dial is very difficult to rotate. Any recommendations? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodeo_joe1 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 The dial needs to be lifted slightly in order to rotate it. Are you doing that? It's page 21 in the manual. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joseph_krause Posted October 13, 2020 Author Share Posted October 13, 2020 Yes, I have lifted and rotated the dial. Over the years, I have used probably 5-6 F3 cameras but this is the first time I have encountered this sticking problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Rance Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Yes, I have lifted and rotated the dial. Over the years, I have used probably 5-6 F3 cameras but this is the first time I have encountered this sticking problem. One problem I find with the F3 is the film speeds are on a adhesive label. This can ruck up and jam the mechanism. Nikon supplied a new improved part which I fitted myself one time. Mine was stuck almost solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
