: Have a Nikon F3 that the shutter is block and can't take any
more picture.
: I live in a city that don't have any photorepair shop of my
confidence, also
: think I can't affort to send my camera to other contry. Is
there any place where I can find
: information about how to repair myself my camera?.
Hello Rafael,
I understand being on an limited budget and good camera repair is not cheap, however I do not recommend you try to repair your Nikon F3. It's a wonderful, very intricate, top quality camera - and most people who try to repair their own cameras usually destroy the first camera they work on. I do not recommend starting your self-repair career on an expensive camera such as the Nikon F3.
Now that I've said this, I feel better. Many people swear by Ed Romney's book, "Revised Basic Training in Camera Repair." You'll find Ed Romney's entire line of repair books in our Manufacturers Index of Camera Repair Equipment, Manuals and Tools.
Fargo Enterprises Micro Tools web site offers an exhaustive assortment of camera repair tools. You'll find their web site in the same index hyperlinked below.
John Craig has a reprint of the camera repair manual for the Nikon F3. Cost $30 plus shipping. web site is http://www.craigcamera.com
Now realize that when you add up the cost of Romney's Basic Training ($35 plus $4 S&H) the Nikon F3 camera repair manual ($30 plus $2 S&H) and the purchase of the necessary camera repair tools ($100 plus) you will have spent probably more than it would cost to pay a professional camera repair technician to repair your Nikon F3.
