My F100 is in for a check up!

Good thing I didn't spend a lot of money on this camera. I shot 3 rolls of film and all of the shots came out blurry! I used some cheap film just to test the camera out. I used different apertures to see how the depth of field looked. After the 3rd roll came back blurry, I knew for sure it wasn't me.
I'm a little annoyed with the guy who sold me the camera. I have a hard time believing that he didn't know it wasn't focusing correctly. The way I found out was by focusing on something at an angle. You can use a brick wall or an object that stands out in the middle of the frame. Then when you get the film back, you can see if the focus was actually in front or to the rear of that area. All of my shots where either completely out of focus or focused in front of what I set focus on.
Luckily, I recently found a Nikon repairman. This guy has been repairing Nikon cameras for many years. I could have sent it to Nikon but I figured I'd send it to him to see what he could do. He worked for Nikon for 15 years so I'm sure he knows what he is doing. I should have the results in about a week.
