h._p. Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 I filed away the bottom half of the faceplate and bent the thing a little into shape. It's as ugly as sin (so it matches the rest of the camera) but it works smoothly now. Not up to the standard of work of many around here but the Nikkormat was, effectively, free and now I have a back-up body to my F so I'm happy. :-)))<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frank.schifano Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Yeah man, that is ugly, but if it works who cares? Sorry about the references to Home Depot and Radio Shack. I didn't realize that you were in the UK, but you got the idea anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

battra92 Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Ouch is right. Though since it now works and the body was free and looks like it does, you could always do something silly like customize the exterior or what not. By the way, how bad does it look when looking at the whole camera? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
