Hello all-

I just took my FE body in for repair at a local shop that does in-house repairs, and they specialize in Nikon. The problem seems to be that the batteries drain even when the camera is off, with the lensecap on. I've been through 2 sets of batteries in about 2 months, and the last pair only lasted 2-3 weeks!

I am paying, what I think to be, a little too much for a full camera check & cleaning....$90.00. If they have to order any parts it's extra o' course!
I only use the FE to 'get back to basics' and have fun shooting, the body forces me to use my brain again for proper exposure, etc.
Anyone out there have a battery drain problem?
