Replacement for FM2 mirror foam ?

[Kozhe]

Hi everybody!

I got a FM2 which needs new mirror foam and probably light seals too. Anyone has experience with any commercial or self-made replacement?

John Goodman's kits are excellent. Check for ebay seller "Interslice". John's a member here, I think.

I'll second that recommendation. Not only are his kits excellent quality and value (I've done four cameras so far from one kit, and I still have plenty of material left over), but Mr Goodman is always ready and willing to offer guidance on how to work on your camera.

Thanks! I asked him for a FM2 kit

Use only the foam he specifies for mirrors! Follow his instructions carefully and replace ALL the foam seals. See http://www.kyphoto.com/classics/seal/Nikon_FM_FE.pdf.

Jon has always been very personable, and seems to definitely be the "foam" king. ;-)

He should be getting a surprise shipment and new challenge from me this week.
