[QUOTE="desmobob, post: 726653, member: 45742"] More than two years later, I finally dropped off this F3 at the camera repair shop today! I also left my F2S for a CLA, and another F3 body for a foam light seal job. If the F3 with meter trouble can be fixed for a reasonable amount of money, I'll do it. If not, the other F3 and the F2S (and an FG and pair of F4s at home) will be ready to shoot some film in a week or two. I haven't shot any film in too long. I was able to fire up my old Coolscan V ED film/negative scanner too, thanks to software by VueScan. When I was chatting with the gentleman that will be repairing my cameras, I was telling him that I picked Nikon way back when because they seemed to value backwards-compatibility in their equipment, and that fact made me surprised that they totally bailed on the scanners, leaving their customers with no software support to carry them into the future. He told me things aren't like they used to be with Nikon and said they won't even sell parts to repair shops any longer. He said Canon is now the company offering the most help to keep old equipment running through parts support, etc. Interesting... [/QUOTE]
