Hi Henry,

 

I have a minolta multi pro scanner and it just got the blinking red light issue, and I am very interested in your CCFL tubes and would like to buy one, and I might need your help/instructions to install it. By the way, I am based in Kent UK. My contact number 07904843449

 

Thanks.

Michael, many thanks for your pictures and your explanations, it really helps, and I

also learned a lot from it, really appreciated!!!

 

Using the part number you provided, I found a website which still has the screws

available, I will contact them and buy couple of these screws.

 

Here is the website

Many thanks again.

<p>Thanks for all the input, I went to town centre this afternoon and borrowed a screw driver from the watch repair shop, and the problem solved by just fastening the screw!!<br>

Many thanks again. </p>

<p>Thanks, Kari. I will do that.</p>

<p>Do you have any idea about the type/size of screw driver that should be used? thanks</p>

<p>Many thanks Michael. The picture really helps. </p>

<p>Now I can see the grub screw, but only one grub screw, as on the other side it does not has any screw, just a hole.<br>

Is this normal? I guess it would be very difficult to get a screw of such type.</p>

<p>Thanks, Rodeo. Only the filter thread rotated, the front element and other parts inside that I can see stay in their position. </p>

<p>Do not think I can fix it myself, never done anything similar. A repair manual would help?</p>

<p>I am currently using Nikon 28mm f2.8 AIS on my F3, it is really an excellent quality lens, but one thing worries me a bit, the filter thread could be rotated about 1- 2 degrees.<br /> I also have a 50mm f1.8AFD lens, but the 28mm f2.8 lens has much loose filter thread than the 50mm one.<br /> Just wondering for those who have this 28mm AIS, does yours have similar issue? Is this normal? Would it affect focusing? etc.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>Here is the two focusing screen side by side comparison, the picture was taken before sending it back to the seller.<br /> H2 is the one on the right. The metal frame of K is actually a bit taller/thicker than the H2s, but I am not sure about the glasses.<br /> <img src="http://s32.postimg.org/n5ogvrjt1/image.jpg" alt="" /></p>

<p>Thanks for all the input. The metal frame of this H2 looks exactly the same as the K apart from that the H2 is a bit wider, it does have a flange. The K can be easily slipped into the position but no matter how hard I push the H2 it would not go in.<br>

The seller agree for a refund so I have posted it back, cannot do any tests anymore.<br>

Mine is F3HP</p>

<p>Many thanks, Sandy.<br>

One more question, if it is a focusing screen for F3 it will definitely fit, doesn't it?</p>

<p>Its perhaps one for F2. I bought it from ebay 2 days ago which was advertised for F3, and I've asked for the seller for a refund.<br>

My journey for getting a H2 cannot be called smooth. Just a month ago, I bought a H2 from a Japanese seller, when I opened the package turned out to be a K screen although on the nikon box it say H2, it ended up I keep the K screen and get a refund.<br>

Now, it IS a H2 but it does not fit!!!</p>

<p>Just bought a H2 screen for my F3, but just find out that it cannot be fitted into the F3, the H2 is a bit wider than my K screen.<br>

is it a focusing screen for F3?<br>

Is that your work?

<p>Lex: good advise! The price is not cheap as the camera is really in excellent cosmetic condition and quite a few people put bid on it.<br>

Shun: he is a kind of 'commercial' seller on ebay, I think he acquired the camera from somewhere and then sell it on ebay. He has 100% feedback, which is why I trust him with his description of the camera.</p>

<p>Thanks, Paul. I have issued an return and refund request via ebay, and just got response from the seller, will return it to him shortly.</p>

<p>Thanks, Andreas. The damage was not advertised, actually it was described Excellent++ condition.<br>

Indeed, apart from the shutter damage, the camera is in excellent cosmetic condition, but the seller did not put an image of the damaged part of the shutter on ebay.<br>

I have upload the image to my flickr account and it will be great if you could have look at it as I am really new to film cameras <br>

<p>Hi, just bought a Nikon F3 off ebay, really love it, but over carefully inspection last night found out the shutter curtain has 2 major depression and one scratch, will the camera be regarded damaged? should I keep the camera or should I return it to the seller? thanks in advance.<br>
