Hey guys, just a quick question. Do you know if it's possible to replace the cloth shutter curtains on my S2 with Nikon F titanium curtains?
Thanks a lot in advance, cheers!

I don't mean to hijack the thread but who would you recommend to work on Nikon RF's and SLR's these days in the US? I used Essex in the past but they were wiped out in the last hurricane in N Jersey.
FWIW the repair guys at Kiitos recommend against using titanium curtains from a donor camera because weaknesses can be created in the titanium during the removal and reinstall process which may result in curtain failure. They have a stash of new F3 curtains they use instead.
We have not found that to be true. For years we have been using used Nikon F replacement curtains in Nikon SP, S3 & S4.
Not one has come back with any kind of curtain problem at all.

Contraringly to what happens with the S3 or SP the whole titanium shutter curtains unit with their drums can't just be transplanted into the S2 but if the F shutter curtains are custom cut to fit the S2 shutter unit drums it can be done, as if you were just having the old & tired shutter curtains replaced with new fabric ones.
