The DP-2 meter of my Nikon F-2S went on strike (the red leds are no longer illuminated). Time for repair I'm afraid, but before I do so
1) Is there perhaps some simple form of repair/reset (beyond cleaning the battery compartment) I could try on myself?
2) Can anyone suggest a reliable Nikon repairman on either side of the Pond?
3) In view of the likely cost of repair, I might consider rather buying a new body or meter. Is there a simple way to tell whethe the problem lies with the body (i.e. the meter is not fed current) or the meter? When removing the meter, two white metal dots become visible on the body, which engage against small pins in the meter. Is this the electrical connection? If so, a battery tester on the dots should show current flow, correct? |

Ezio,
google Sover Wong, I'd suggest that you'd do well to send your body to him, as it will come back better than new, he specializes in just F2's and is highly regarded (and quite reasonably priced)
