joelst 0 Report post Posted November 18, 2007 :help: I have an old Nikon FG that my daughter took to Utah rock climbing, and somehow lost the push button mechanism. The par5ts that go under the shutter button. Nikon no longer makes parts for this camera. I have looked at local camera shops with no luck., and am wary of buying from e-bay. Anybody have any suggestions where I can acquire the parts, or can buy an old camera for parts. My Nikon is actually in great condition otherwise, and I have a bit of money tied up in lenses and filters. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, joelst Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Graham 0 Report post Posted November 19, 2007 I've shopped at this on-line store before without any problems. They have a pretty good selection of Nikon parts and accessories. http://www.bocaphoto.com/products/new/nikon/nikonacc.htm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Will Milne 0 Report post Posted November 19, 2007 Hi If you have a solid investment in Nikon lenses - you may want to consider buying a new digital body- many of the Nikon dslr bodies support the use ( sometimes 100 % sometimes with a few concessions) all the way back to the 70,s. Might be a better long term investment/solution versus repairing and continuing on with an FG. Probably not the answer you wanted:) but hope it helps in the long run:) Will Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
little laker 0 Report post Posted November 19, 2007 joelst, KEH is pretty much the #1 store that I know of, and when they say that something is good it is. And they happen to have a FG in excellent condition for $76.00 at this link. It's missing a finger grip. They look like nice cameras, if I didn't have several Pentax mounts I'd consider getting one of those units. Will Milne, I don't know for certain but I don't believe that Manual Focus Nikon lenses will work on the new ones. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joelst 0 Report post Posted November 19, 2007 Little laker, thanks for the site. Just what I was looking for. I will have lots of spare parts this way. Won't be long and this will be an antique. I love the results I used to get with it. Old dogs still like to do it "Their Way". nothing like manual settings. Thanks again. joelst (an Old dog) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
