Hello all, I just got an F-36 motor drive for Nikon F. I already had the motor plate in one of my bodies. No battery grip, but I kludged together a 9v external...
The interconnections between the motor and body are totally mechanical, there's no electric signal. In addition to installing the motor-compatible plate in...
Thanks, Rick! I spotted one adjustment, an excentric (sp?) disclike thing fastened with screws, that apparently is for setting the height of the clamps that...
... from ... so the rubber lining around the lower edges of the F3 VF may indeed be a light seal. The F3 viewfinder also has a manually operated red shutter to...
hi, to everyone, I have a nikkormat ft that was in storage for a long time, and the battery leaked. can anybody give me information on how to take apart the...
Rory When you do find the procedure or you try it on your own, be super careful. The older batteries contain mercury and you should handle the cleanup ...
I've used my F36 on three different bodies and did not have to adjust anything. Frankly that may just be my luck! There is a female two prong outlet on the...
Hi I have a Nikon FE with a strange problem. It meters well and the speeds are accurate, but it likes to jam at ramdom. Dialing to M90 frees it up and it...
Hi, I have a F801 (N8008 in the US) and a SB-24 and I would like to use the flash off the camera with TTL. Of course, I need the SC 17 cord but they are pricey...
Hi Lou, I've had some intermittent shutter problems on my FE. Not exactly like yours but... They got solved when I cleaned the contacts of the electromagnet of...
I seem to be lucky too, as the drive works with my body. Yes, it really does now, with the help of a 8xAA-cell battery pack (that I'm trying to find different...
Hi Martin, The current AAA N-MH cells have better performance than the best AA NiCads from when the F36 was made. Ron Schroeder Brookhaven National Lab ...
In a message dated 7/2/04 4:51:49 AM Pacific Daylight Time, ... Yikes! $150.00 new? I paid about $70.00, new in Oregon. Have any United States buddies? I am...
From my experience, I would replace the battery no matter how it checks. This is especially so if you are using lithium or alkaline cells. If possible, use one...
Lithium cells have a very flat voltage curve. They could be depleted and not show it by measuring the open circuit voltage. Since it is not easy to measure...
In a message dated 7/2/04 11:11:48 AM Pacific Daylight Time, ts@... ... For the last dozen years or so now, I have been using lithium batteries in my...
"Free" mercury batteries -- but hurry. I expect the feds to issue a nationwide recall post haste. http://www.wmtw.com/Global/story.asp?S=1991378 -- Website:...
Hi, Thanks to those of you who proposed ways of getting some cheaper SC17... But being a bit in a hurry to finish a shooting job, I hacked my SB-24... When I...

Hi Everybody I recently purchased a second hand Nikon FA in mint conditions -- probably the previous owner never used it. The camera has a problem: it seems...
... I can't be sure, but I suspect there is no problem. This behavior is to be expected with the FA under certain conditions in any of its modes other than M,...
Hello Mr. Santelli ! I have 2 good news for you. 1. If in M mode you get the correct shutter timing that is a proof that the shutter mechanics and the shutter...
