I bought for 300 usd.,a D2xs incl. a Nice bag from Lowe-Pro ( Nova 5 AW ) a couple of Flashes ( Metz 4O ..SUNPAK 555 ), some thingies, thought I had scored a DEAL !!..
But Oh..
The mirror stays up , will not budge..I`m guessing the shutter is at fault,Nikon will Not fix it...it`s too old..
That is Not all...
I also bought a 14 - 24 2.8 for 900 usd.,...
Zoom ring sticks at 16mm to 14 mm...focusing moves...only sharp at 20 cm,..looked at a youtoob vid.,..showing there`s full of chips in that computer lens...
here`s the vid.

Anyone got ideas of how to proceed..or do I hide under the blanket awaiting the arrival of 2030...it can only get better right ??!...
Seriously , someone outthere who is willing/able to help out a ,by now ,Impoverished fellow photog.
Sigh..
Sorry to hear all that.
Even if Nikon won't repair the D2X maybe an independent repairer might?
If it were my problem I would contact these people...

....but then they are just down the road from where I live and have pieced back together my lenses and cameras several times successfully.
I suppose it's a question of what cost is involved in repair. I suspect the lens may be a more cost effective choice. But until you ask you don't know.
Of course, though the camera may be too old for Nikon to repair, the lens should still be young enough.
