1.0 out of 5 stars
This is not a service manual,
By William J Roden (University Place, Washington United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Nikon Camera Repair Handbook (Paperback)
If you are seriously considering repairing a camera, do not be misled by the title of this book. It is not a service manual. It is a "how-to guide book." It contains a few photos of major assemblies and brief descriptions of disassemble-assemble procedures. There are no detail drawings, no schematics and no parts lists. In my opinion, it is not worth the... I paid for it.

This book + comon sense = fixed camera,

This review is from: Nikon Camera Repair Handbook (Paperback)
This book is not a step by step, follow the pictures book. It requires a pinch of common sense and mechanical understanding. This book has great tips for each camera type Nikon has made. I used it to repair a Nikonos V that had completely bad electronics. Some sodering and elbow grease was all it took. Think of this book as a friend helping you learn how to work on your camera, not a professor telling you each step to perform. If you're the type of person that likes to learn by exploring, then this book is for you. If you need pictures like Lego instructions, this book is not for you.
