    Anyone have any experiences with using an Epson maintenance chip resetter? If so, where did you get yours? I have one, but I think it's a bum resetter, so I'd like a reliable source. Also, can you...

    expensive but MPEX has a full set for sale. I just sold my 600/800 Nikkor. It was a great lens when I used it, but I just never used it enough.
