I assume you are talking about vertical play in the film advance lever. I
bought a second F3 not too long ago and I notice it had significantly more
vertical play than my old F3. I removed the lever and could find no way to
tighten it so I took it to Nikon USA. They said that the whole advance
assembly had to be replaced but that the play was not excessive and should
be not problem. I said it bothered me in the way I handled the camera and
insisted on having it fixed. They fixed it in a little less than 2 weeks
and it is as tight as my other F3. This was a warantee repair so it cost me
nothing. Since the F3 is still in production parts should not be a problem.
