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?
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!
