  1. Hi there all, Just got a nice F3 on ebay the other day, and managed to solve 2 of its 3 major problems: replaced light seals/mirror shock absorber, and straightened slightly bent back. However, there is another problem I cannot figure out. The counter index number is stuck at 40 (maximum) and will not reset to 0 when camera back opens or closes. From what I understand, this is done via the a small dent on the back (according to mir website); my F3 does NOt have such a dent on the back. The only thing I can find inside the upper right horizontal slot of the rear, is what seems to be a round white metal (about1-2mm diameter). Is this suposed to jump out when oppening the back and reset the counter? Could this be the piece that got "stuck". Thanx for shedding some light..... just trying to avoid expensive overrated "services" (allready saved quite some bucks refoaming my self) Orfeas
