The Only 35mm film camera you’ll ever need ! Nikon f100

Picked up a Nikon F100 for $36 on ebay, broken apparently! Fixed it and here's how!
Also the amazing Minolta Maxxum 700si , the most awesome little alternative for those people looking for fun times for Zero dollars ...ish ;-)

The exact same problem you find with the Nikon F801...which is a fine camera btw

[@robbellphoto]

The 801 is also a fav of mine for sure !!!

I bought mine back in 2013 for about $300. It is in great condition and it is the only film camera I have. It reminds me of my D610.

Urgh the D610 is a BEAAAAAAST ! So good 😊

Got 1 from a thrift store for $20 that looked like someone put their thumb thru the shutter curtain while loading film, but surprisingly still works (no leaks, accurate exposure). Old Nikon prosumer stuff are 👍.
Please compare a Fujifilm S5 Pro to a Nikon D200 or D70s if possible.

Urgh I’m so happy people are still finding great deals ! FJ-S5 …. Got it ! Will compare and shoot a video

Looking down the chamber, the 2 electrodes look ok. But I see blue oxidation on copper bits at the bottom which I have cleaned where accessible. The battery holder is a gonner. But I do have a motor drive. When fitting everyting together, drat, it doesnt turn on. Probably get an expert to take apart?

[@robbellphoto]

Dang ! Sounds like the internals have been compromised:-(

How long is ‘too’ long to leave batteries in for?
