Normally you would do it using the Insert Image but I see you tried that in your previous post and it did not work. I tried to view the image by going to the URL in the [image] tag but got a 404 error from dropbox (meaning it could not find it). Not sure why.

I do not use dropbox so can't help from that side, sorry.

Just to check that it does work:


Great that you managed to fix your old camera - I have noticed that there a lot of repair videos on youtube recently.

Oh well the FA will be making a return trip to Japan
The shutter is faulty, whatever mode you have it in it sounds like it,s stuck on around 1/60th of a second, apparently this is a common fault with the FA, tried 3 sets of batteries, 2 times out of 10 it will trip the shutter at the chosen speed
I even bought a new eyepiece for it
I dont think i will ever touch an FA with a barge pole again, no wonder they are unpopular and cheaper than the other MF nikons
The seller has to return the price of the camera and postage, plus return postage to which he has agreed

Hassels one could do without but at least you will get your money back.
