Recently after a weekend of shooting punk shows and protests the mettering tab ring isnt not snapping back quickly. It does slowly move after aperture ring is rotated. My guess is some beer or some type fluid is sticky in there. How difficult is it to disassemble and clean metering probg ring for fe2?

Increíble manteniendo, es hermoso ver todo este video 🤙👏👍🇦🇷

a fine looking Nikkor Q 25cm for the rangefinder mount!

Hi, at the beginning you were talking about using glue to clean the camera. Is it any glue or some special type? Do you use it on any type of dirt? Would it also work on corrosion?

how the hell do you reinstall

Brilliant lens!

hey how are you i need to fix my nikon rangefinder let me know

Benzene?? Cancer! I'm looking for a N80 lubrication vid.....thanks

thank you!

45:02 With the little stick had me slow clapping. Deep bow and hats off.

still hoping for similar video on f2..

Thank you Richard! I followed your instructions and have successfully cleaned 4 Nikkors so far. One question: could you or someone tell me what size of flat head screwdriver should I get for the micro Nikkor-P 55mm f/3.5 pre-ai? It has the flat head screws on the bayonet mount. Thanks in advance!

The Wera driver you have is clearly marked PH0, presumably for Phillips, although I think they do make a JIS driver. Also i'm not sure why you use a torch to heat up a screw when you can use soldering iron to apply heat in a much more controlled manner, and nicer irons have adjustable temperatures too.

Thank you for your video. I can't find a way to digitize negatives AND use the electronic shutter AND focus peaking. Not having focus peaking makes focusing the negatives very difficult. And not having the electronic shutter means that you are wearing up the mechanical shutter. Did you find a way to have focus peaking and the electronic (or silent) shutter enabled? Thank you

1:08 That Wera driver is marked 'PH 0', so I assume it's a Philips Size 0, not a JIS Size 0. (edit: typo correction)

Richard, do you have a source for the shutter cords for this camera?

So cool. I love my Nikon F

So cool!!

This is such a pleasure to watch! I wish I knew what he was saying but it's still great. Thank you.

When you get home please don't forget to tell your F's, and F2's, that you love them! 😄😃🙂

You start in the MIDDLE. You MUMBLE. you take the damn camera obviously 90% APART, and put the knobs back on. If this is supposed to be instructional, you're failing miserably. If this is just a self-aggrandizing "Hey, look at cool me take stuff apart" WITHOUT making it understood to the viewers, just don;t post at all.

For those curious, these tend to be 00 JIS screws, not 0.

If you make a mistake why not use some (insulation) tape to span the circumference from the 2 distant marks. Then you can re-assemble again rotated by the length of the tape.

Hi Richard, thanks for the fantastic video.And I CLA my contax IIa camera and adjust the shutter,But I have a problem:The 1/1250 speed is missing after I CLA my camera,The shutter can move but it can not open when its work by 1/1250 speed. Best regards

Hi, the focus on my lens is too loose (but the manual focus ring feels perfect). If I move the lens a bit, focus changes. What can I do? Thanks.

Watched the entire thing, can't speak a word of the language but what a great technician. I'll hug my Nikon F Apollo tonight. Thanks.

Wow you got to play with the Nikon DL system that never saw the light of day.

Good point on the clockwise turn first. Got my bayonet mount off

can i use just vinegar to cleanup fungus...will it work?

whats your hydrogen peroxide concentration %?

Big thanks for that film Richard.

Excellent video! I wish I'd seen it sooner, as, after watching two other videos before this one, I was no further along in removing the screws on the lens mount, and I'd come pretty close to mangling the screw heads, although I didn't ruin any of them - fortunately! I wish some of the other folks here on the 'tube had talked about the importance of using the proper tools - ie, JIS screwdrivers, rather than Phillips ones. Great channel!

Excellent website, Richard. Thank you very much. I'm working on a Nikkor-N 24mm 2.8 AI conversion and I found a soldering iron tip was useful here - 300C for 20-30seconds - following your advice. I doubt I'd have managed this successfully had I attempted to butcher the screws loose on my own volition.

thanks for a repair video of my favourite camera :-)

when reinstalling governor does the camera need to be in a particular setting?

Thumbs up o. The video. I have a Nikon f2 all the slow speeds are shooting fast. Any idea what’s going on?

怪物Niko Fを手際よく整備する、貴重なNikonの職人❗。 凄い動画をありがとうございました。

I just got a FT and a 50mm lens last night and I love it. It’s a bit quirky because it’s different, but I think it’s a great camera.

I think it is showing that you may be able to bring a "dead" selenium meter to life by shining a light onto the meter. I have an old Sekonic that I assumed was dead but i put it under a desk lamp and it showed life. Now I have to see if it will act consistently.

Hello, do you sell these? Wondering if it can be adapted to an L MOUNT

I like using a soldering iron tip to heat up the screws

Great care and much wisdom, best compliments

Thank you so much for that hint!

My audio is up full volume. Any way to greatly increase the audio level on the video recording? It sounds like you're whispering, don't know why?

Mr. Haw! Excellent video on the IIa. I am following your guide for the repair of my Contax II right now. I am running into issues resetting the shutter correctly, and it will not wind completely, only about halfway by resetting the shutter how youve described in your website. Any advice on what I am missing? Help would be greatly appreciated!

What kind of oil ?

Where’s the Havk, you’ve shone a light on it, it’s reacted, that’s what light meters do, you’ve just made a video to show nothing!?

I have an issue with my Nikkormat FT2: the meter coupling mechanism sometimes 'locks up' such that I can't rotate the aperture ring on the lens. First time it happened I had to remove the front cover on the prism housing and manually 'unlock' the coupling mechanism so I could even remove the lens from the camera. Happened again yesterday..and I use only Nikon pre-AI lenses on my Nikkormat FT2. Ever run into that and any insights on this issue?

So what is the hack ? What did you do ?

Hi Richard- I just purchased a 1955 build S2 and the slow speeds (1/30th and below) don't work at all, only bulb. Would a good cleaning likely fix this sort of issue or is it usually something more serious? The higher speeds from X up to 1/1000 are working though in need of fine-tuning.
