Question: Nikon F4 Shutter Sticking?
A received from a friend today who was thinning his camera collection a Nikon F4s. He said he hadn't used it in over a year, and since it was a freebie, I can't really complain. But, here is the issue:
After buying a roll of film, I loaded the roll and shot away, mostly on full-auto in bright sun. After taking the film in for processing, and getting it back, I noticed that the film was only being exposed from about the bottom 1/4th down. Everything above that point was just empty.
I unmounted the lens, and looked into the mirror box as I fired off a few shots. Sure enough, the shutter is only opening about 1/8th of the way. Every once in a while, it will open ALL the way and stay open with the mirror up, and sluggishly close after about 1/2 of a second.
What gives with this thing? Is this a major repair, or just a little lube needed between two parts? Does it just need more exercise?
Thoughts, guys?
Answer: I would try giving it a good bit more exercise before I sent it off for a repair. If I am not mistaken, a replacement shutter generally costs between 150 and 200 bucks, so you would have to weigh whether or not it would be worth it. Also, it may not need a full shutter replacement, it might just need a CLA (clean, lubricate, and adjust) job, which would be less. If you plan to stick with film for the long term, I would think it would be worth it, as the F4, while not quite as good as the amazing F5, is still an amazing camera that is built like a tank. Also keep in mind that you can get an F4s in good shape from KEH for around 300 bucks, so you have a lot of options to weigh.
Good luck!

Question: I have a Kern-Paillard 25mm RX Lens for my H16 Bolex - Is the focus ring supposed to slide back and forth?
Hi there!
I have a Kern-Paillard RX Lens for the Bolex H16 Reflex, and I am wondering about the focus ring: is it supposed to slide back and forth (towards the rim and then back towards the base) when you adjust focus? Or is it supposed to remain fixed in one position? The one I have now DOES NOT slide back and forth as I adjust the focus ring.
I am completely new to this - this is my first RX lens so I'm always learning
Answer: No, it isn't.
