alan_wilder1 Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 <p>I just noticed that the sliding latch that locks the film back door in place when closed has lost it's spring tension requiring me to push the latch up to lock the film door shut rather than it automatically going up from spring tension. This works OK but requires 2 hands to lock the door shut rather than having it self lock by just shutting he door. I assume the internal spring has come loose inside the housing. Anyone ever have this problem and is it something I can easily fix? There are 2 screws on the latch panel but removing them doesn't seem to allow me to pull the panel off and I don't want to muck anything up.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frederick_joicey Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 <p>Todd, Thanks for your post. I do not have a problem with my F100, but I found your link invaluable and will go to it re a light meter fault on my Nikon FM.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
