What to do if my D70 has fungus? ):


Since bro fatigue got the spare parts, ask him to quote/fix for you lah. The wait may be long cos he is a helpful busy bee, but from all the other threads, quality and service 1st class.

Yeah he is a busy man. :( Hope he can help me with it soon. :D
 

Why is there a need to do IR conversion? How to do? I read thru the link, but I think the assembling back of the parts will most probably leave me scratching my head

The procedure will you guide how to change the filter. I didn't mean converting your camera to IR.

Can you help me with the changing? Give me a quote please. I don't want to take the risk. Better to let the professionals do. :D

Hahaha later waste my phone bills then become more lugi.

How much did you pay for it? Did the seller mention problems such as the faulty lens and fungus?

Hmm $480 inclusive of one SB-600. Sold the speedlight for $220. He mentioned about the lens. But the fungus he never say. :(
 

Err... Means u got the d70 + 18-70 for $260... hehe quite okay la I think....
If you fix it at Camera Hospital for $180, total would be $440, still a fair price for the d70 kit I believe :)

I think I will get a 18-55mm then the 18-70mm throw away. :p

Student or not student, the camera and the fungus is the same. ;P

fatigue is already charging way under market and is a great guy. Please do not take advantage of his nice and obliging personality.

Haha I know. I am just waiting for him to give me a quote. I can see he is a busy guy. Like a bit paisei to disturb him :(
 

Means fixing the BODY itself is $180?? The lens? Cannot be salvaged??

Hmm yeah. The lens the guy asked me to trade in for a 18-55mm VR for $200. He say if repair the lens not cheap.
 

Oh okay...
But I think one good thing is at least you didn't pay a lot in the first place for the d70.
If changing the fliter + changing will let u enjoy the d70 for a longer time, then I guess it's worth, and yea the lens if beyond repair, then get another one :)

I shall wait for Fatigue first :D I believe he is a great guy. He is willing to give me the filter as long as I collect from him, and DIY myself. :( Which is something that I am afraid. Out of 5 things which I dismantle, 5 goes to the rubbish bin. :p
 

Good luck :)

Anyone got any cleaning kit to recommend? :D

You may sell the body away cheaply. Best that you let the potential buyer knows what's wrong with the camera, to be fair to him/her. He might buy it to convert to IR-mod body. There are people who buy lenses with fungus on the cheap for use or send them for cleaning.
