Since I didn’t have the data-back version, I called the California number and spoke with a technical representative (Tony). If you have the data-back version for the N90 or N90s it will have to come to our Nikon service facility because parts would have to be taken out of it and installed onto a new back.” They are available from 7am to 3pm Pacific time on weekdays.

“If you have a Nikon N90 or N90s with a peeling back, you can contact our Nikon Parts dept. Then, a short while later, he e-mailed me back with this updated information: He explained that if it turned out to be their problem, it wouldn’t cost me anything. Initially, the representative had no knowledge of this problem and directed that I follow the standard procedure in order to have the film door sent to them. The representative had me create a Nikon user account and I logged the problem through their on-line support interface. I went on Nikon’s web-page and called their Service and Repair Support number (1-80). At this point in time (2008), I began wondering whether Nikon was still honoring the sending out of new backs. One article indicated that Nikon was sending out new backs to anyone who was experiencing this problem with the N90s film door - but provided no specific directions for how to do this. the lens - I'm quite sure this substance would have ruined the lens should it have gotten on it.Īfter searching the internet via the Google search engine, I found several older articles (although I found none from Nikon) that explained the same problem I was experiencing. I didn’t want this sticky substance getting transferred to other parts of the camera, esp. So sticky, that I had to put tape on the film door in order to use it. The initial stage of this breakdown can be seen – or better yet, felt – as it turns into a glue-like substance that is notoriously sticky. (FYI: I purchased the camera in late 1994, but didn't notice the problem until early 2008). I don’t use it as often as a professional, so it saw much less use comparably speaking. On earlier productions of the *Nikon N90s camera, the rubberized coating on the film door will come off – sooner or later.
