Nikon D70 Body Sticky

[Limsbros]

Dear fellow nikon users,
My D70 body has developed a sticky film. Is there any way to get rid of it? Any advice or remedy will be appreciated. Thanks.

Update 6 Mar 09:
Parts for replacement are here. Send in D70 to NSC for repair. I must comment NSC friendly staffs and excellent service. They even call me to inform me about the dust in my view finder and provide me explanation and recommendations for a full service which cost $120.

For D200 the cost of servicing is $160

Don't touch, don't wipe with anything, put in a dry cabinet for a few days.

Most likely the rubber lining is wearing out with age. You can get it fixed at the Nikon Service Centre.

Thanks. I already done that but it is still the same.
The same thing also happened to my F90X and F55 film camera. Only my D200 is OK. They are all kept in dry cabinet. Wonder if it is some kind of chemical reaction????

OK. Thanks. Will pay NSC a visit later this week. Any idea how much it cost?

Is your dry-cabi too dry?

Can just call NSC for the pricing first.

Let me know the price if you manage to get the qoute.
My D70 is also getting a little sticky after using for nearly 5 years

You can ask NSC to fix it lor...

My F80 is like that too.. Although my 4 years old D70 is fine...

My dry cabinet is set around 55%-60%.
Will give NSC a call tomorrow.

[Umeiko]

What's the price?

 

[geraldkhoo]

Mmmm... how about trying to gaffer the body?

Ha..ha... my D70 still serve me well. I took it to Denmark with extreme cold temperature and on top of a wind turbine.... still working fine except data transfer seems to slow down with a sandisk ultra II CF. My D200 also survive the same test.:bsmilie:

Thanks for the idea suggestion... but that is hiding the problem not getting rid of the problem. Anyway, the replace cost ~$76.

 

[Cyberian]

Thanks Limsbros for the replacement cost. Will sent it down to Nikon when I have the time.

 

[Raoul]

many thanks for the cost update.
