    screw driver for Wista Field repair

    Could someone advise me which type of screwdriver I need to tighten screws on my Wista Field? It concerns the 4 tiny screws R and L rear, attaching the back hardware to the sides of the camera bed. Tx in advance, Hans Berkhout.

    Hans,

    I usually carry a set of jewlers "precision" screwdrivers in my bag to tighten the tiny screws on my Tachihara or Zone VI, would those work? Mine came as a set of 6, three phillips and three flat head tools. I cannot remember where I got them however, maybe my local home improvement store.

    Hans,

    I use a 6 piece set made by Wiha. Excellent quality. You can find the set towards the bottom of this page.

    I ordered mine directly from the web site.

    Home depot, Husky brand makes a tiny screwdriver like the wiha's but the handle holds 3 double ended bits with all the sizes you need and it's only about 5 bucks.

    Get a Victorinox Cybertool 54. It has a real screwdriver in it with a bit set in handle. The smallest flat works on all my cameras, including my Wista.
