Nikon F4 Stuck Body Cap
The screw-in body cap on my F4 will turn a few degrees left and right but refuses to detach. I was hoping someone may have experienced this conundrum and have a quick-fix solution.
Naturally I'm reluctant to apply excessive force, although I would happily sacrifice the cap itself. Any pearls of wisdom would be gratefully received. Thank you. Richard Last edited by Richard Lee; 18th August 2022 at 03:30 PM. |

Does anything happen if you press the release button then try to remove the cap?

Stuck Lens Cap
Quote:
I'm very grateful for your input but I have indeed tried pressing the lens release button and wiggling the cap in both directions as you suggest, but all to no avail. The camera has since been handed over to my local photo dealer/repairers wherein it still languishes a couple of weeks later. I expect that by now they'll be resigned to some form of butchery to the cap - way beyond my own personal comfort zone. Regards, Richard |

UPDATE:
The offending article was duly removed at the camera repairers - presumably with the use of a sharp impliment of some description, because the camera reappeared with a new body cap. Three weeks later and £55.00 lighter, I'm very happy to finally have my F4 back. Richard |
