Hello, I picked up at 300mm f/2.8 Ai-S. Unfortunately the aperture blades are stuck. I'd took out the screws and removed the filter and can access the blades....
Got a quote from a technician for more than the cost of the lens, so I am turning here to see if there is something that can be done DIY. Any thoughts? How...
I would send the lens to Nikon, even their worst repair category (which I don't think your lens fits into) wouldn't cost 1/2 of the replacement cost (used) of...
I am wondering if anyone knows where I can get a set of NOS (New Old Stock) Titanium shutter curtains for a Nikon F? Thinking about have the cloth curtains...
Phil, Go to the "camera store" tab and scroll down the right hand column to "odds and ends" to "as is". I'm addicted to it. My best find was a bargain grade...
Dear All, Sorry if my posting is out of topic. I'm currently looking for a few used and good Nikon lenses for purchase (especially wide to mid and/or fixed...
Hello everyone, Hope that this finds everyone well and enjoying their Nikon cameras. I was hoping someone can answer a couple of questions I have on some new...
Allison, The FG and the FA grip are TOTALLY different. You have to get one for the FA. The reason that you don't have it is that they have to be removed to use...
Thanks Louis ... I was afraid of that :( I guess I will have to be on the look out for one then but I have looked on ebay and there are none listed. I hate...
Allison If you are really creative and artistic you could make a nice one out of wood. Actually you could shape it to fit the hand a little better than the ...
Hi, I am attempting to lubricate a Nikkor 105/2.5 Ai-S. I had no problem unscrewing the front part (with the hood) and taking the optical part out. I...
Oleg, It shouldn't be necessary to remove the mount. The helicoid focus mechanism has three threaded parts. To properly address issues in the focusing you need...
William, ... That's what I was trying to do, but was unable to disassemble the helicoid. It seems that, in order to disassemble it, it's necessary to remove...
Hi everyone. I am looking for some instructions or help about a 300mm F4 IF ED (not AFS). I would like to disassemble the front lens group. To access the three...
Hi there. I recently removed the camera mount, aperture ring and focusing indicator from this lens so I could tighten a loose rear group. Everything seemed to...
The parts you removed typically shouldn't have anything to do with a change in infinity focus, especially one reflected by the focus ring not reaching the...
Thanks for the reply, that was kind of what I was thinking. One thing which has occurred to me is that the aperture coupling lever spring seems to be missing...
My suspicions were correct. I pulled out the lens elements and found the remains of the spring caught up beside the aperture levers. The lever itself has...
Hi all, Just wonder what is the cause for the hazing. I have look into lens element and it looks clear. The lens will have haze shot when directly pointed to...
2009/11/2 abufateen77 <abubakar.abdrahman@...> ... My 28mm AI-S has what I've been told might be oil vapour on at least one element. From most angles,...
My Fuji S1 Pro operates on (4) AA NiMH batteries, (2) 123A and a wafer for all electronic functions. Apparently the original kit included a dummy battery pack...
Hi guys, I am so glad to find a group like this over the net. I am hoping to learn more from you guys when it comes to servicing lens :). I was able to open...
... My dummy has four contacts: one for each of the 'batteries' on one side as expected. However, the two other contacts are not at the other end but at the...
