New (old) Nikon FE Door seems 'loose'.

[jcdeboever]

This is good to hear...I just picked up a FE myself and was wondering about the give in the door too. I haven't finished a roll yet, but it was recently serviced by a local place before I bought it, so I'm assuming it's fine.

I haven't seen any for as cheap as $48 (and I searched, believe me), but I got mine for $250—and that included a flash, three lenses (43-86mm, 80-200mm, and 28mm), 6 filters, and a handheld light meter, so I was pretty happy with it.

Not to hijack the thread, but when I was looking the camera over before buying it, the little foam piece that protects the mirror when you activate the shutter came loose—there are actually two pieces, and one of them fell out. There's still enough foam to stop the mirror from hitting anything hard (I tested at a few different speeds), but is that good enough or should I make it a priority to get a new piece in?

I'd replace it.
