All this being the case, maybe it’s a good time for anyone t scan their old transparencies, before the color has gone. I guess nothing is truly “forever”. Sad.
I also have my collection of “35mm color slides” that I haven’t checked in perhaps ten years, if not longer.
I searched all over to figure out how all these parts really work. The above explanation is the best of anything I found, and far more complete. Thank you for finding and posting!
I called the shop this morning - the owner told me the camera is fixed, and ready to pick up. He told me the arm somehow got bent. He thinks it is an issue on one of my lenses, and wants me to bring all my Nikon lenses with me tomorrow so he can check. He is concerned with a screw that might be out of place. As seems to be typical for me, I have no idea what this screw might be, but I’ll do as he requested. I might have an update tomorrow. What’s interesting to me is I share all my lenses on my three Nikon bodies, and the other two bodies have no problem…
I will look at al my lenses as I pack them, but having no idea what I’m looking for doesn’t help.
