The camera body has returned after the inspection.  It turned out to be fully functional, and there is no hint of damage on the body.  I had to buy the lens again, but I found SIGMA 45/2.8 in an AGAN condition for around the half of the price of a brand new one.  So far, so good.

Good news Akira, and off to a good start as well with the 45mm :)

One more happy to know and very good start with the 45mm
  Now lets find ways to shoot "out of the box" that does not involve repair shops  ;)

Great news Akira - I think that all of us are pleased for you with this outcome.

And can I take it that the Sigma fp is a pretty tough customer?  :)

Great news Akira.  Congratulations with the Sigma 45/2.8.  Better than the petit Nikkor 45mm?

Thank you, Birna, Jan, Paco, Hugh and John!  Glad you like the image of the declaration of revival.  :D

This tiny 45/2.8 offers an easy handling, which should help me get out of the box!  The fp proved to be a tough camera.  It could be even more durable than Z9?!

The optical performance of the lens is noticeably better than Nikkor 45/2.8P.  Also, it can go closer up to magnification factor of 1:4.  In addition, its size would be almost the same as that of 45/2.8P with the F to L mount adapter.

Paco, you kickstarted the New Year by pushing that venerable D2100 of yours to its limits :)

Meanwhile, I discovered an old and rather dusty camera body, later found a battery and charger for it, and eventually a lens that would fit. Very nice playing around with such limited gear for a while. Makes a refreshing contrast to the razor-sharp Z7 files.
