: : : : How long will parts for the Nikonos,II, III, and V be around for before These cameras become paper weights. : : : : Regards, : : : : Andries Westerbaan : : : Andries: : : : Although there may be some exceptions, Nikonos II & III parts are no longer available. You can try calling around to an Authorized Nikonos Service Center to see if they can help you. : : : As for Nikonos V's, we expect parts and service to be available for approx. 10 years. Although there are no guarantees, there are a LOT of Nikonos V's out there, so the market for parts and service should remain strong for quite some time. : : : Here are four Service Centers (and there are more) in the US: : : : Backscatter UW Sales and Service : : : Monterey CA : : : 831-645-1082 : : : sales@backscatter.com : : : Southern Nikonos Service Center : : : Houston TX : : : 713-462-5436 : : : nikonosrepair@aol.com : : : Sub Aquatic Camera Repair Company : : : 22740 Portola Drive : : : Salinas, CA 93908 USA : : : service@subaquaticcamera.com : : : 831-484-6230 : : : Underwater Photo-Tech : : : Derry NH : : : 603-437-1997 : : : repairs@uwphoto.com : : : Dennis : : : Helix UW Photo Dept : : : : Thanks Dennis for the response. How long will film be available, Kodak is not doing well - they have quit R and D on film, and will cut many jobs in 2006. : : Thanks, : : Andries Westerbaan : Andries: : First, the qualifier is that I do not deal with film purchasing or sales directly, and so, do not know anything really. : However, I BELIEVE Kodak (and Fuji) will have to offer some 35mm/medium format/large format films for artists and professionals who will want to continue working with film. This will most likely be a small selection of professional b&w and color films, since the consumer 35mm film market is already about dead...hence Kodak's cutting of consumer film production, and eliminating 35mm camera production. : Dennis : Helix UW Photo Dept
