On the Nikon F a slightly loose back is probably a non issue. You might be able to adjust the latches a little, but I would not bother with anything unless it actually leaks light. The rope seal is very effective and lasts pretty much forever. On the mirror foam, it's needed only for quieting, as far as I know, and must be pretty thin. It will work without foam all right, but of course it makes quite a clack. If it's too thick it will interfere with the mirror return and the mirror lock function. You'll notice this quickly, so if in doubt, dry fire it without film, and make sure the mirror behaves right before putting film in. |
