So whats it cost these days to get 35mm film developed?

I just picked up a Nikon FE2 w/MD4 motordrive, Nikkor 24mm 2.8 lens and a SunPak pro flash unit with two extra batteries and charger. All this came in a large foam lined hard professional case w/strap.

The film advance winder doesn’t work and I don’t want to force it. Everything else is in near new condition. Am shooting with a digital now (Nikon Cool-Pix 880).

Just wondering if you think it’s worth getting fixed?

I paid $40.00 for the whole package. Love those yard sales!!

I would find a Nikon forum on flickr or yahoo and ask the guys who shoot them. There are a number of shops working on 35mm cameras, some of them are reasonable. Also check KEH and Ebay for current prices.

On the Minolta bodies the linkage from where the motor winder hooks up sometimes hangs up if the camera sits for a long time. You can often free it up by wiggling the drive coupling. Be gentle, don't use force.

I don’t get prints, just negatives. Walgreens charges about 5 bucks a roll. I scan the negatives on an Epson 3590.
