Title: Looking for Nikon Parts Source - US
Post by: alan_b on March 31, 2014, 02:23:51 pm

Hi I'm wondering if anyone has tips on a repair center who might allow me to buy an individual part for a Nikon lens?  The few I've tried so far have not been interested/able.

Specifically, I need a shift-lock block-pincher-thingy (technical term 8)) for a 24mm PC-E lens.  I'm in the US - West-coast.

Many thanks in advance!
Alan

I doubt that you'll find one willing to re-sell.  They are contractually obligated to not re-sell parts inventory.

Thanks David - I know that's the official policy, just wondering if there are any old-time shops with connections...

you'll have to find someone parting out a damaged lens - lensrentals does this sometimes, but I think they usually keep the parts for themselves for cameras and lenses they stock
