I have a DS-12 but it doesn't work, when it's ON the unit moves to the higher aperture (wide open) of the lens but it doesn't work opposite. I change the...
Hi Frank, The most likely problem is that the battery is not fully charged. Check that the voltage is 3.6V, or higher. If you're using the original DN-1, then...
Thanks for the reply. I checked the battery and for good measure I attached the DS-12 to my MA-4 AC/DC converter and it still has the same behavior. I also ...
Hi Frank, My first DS-12 had the same problem as yours, but it worked after I installed a fully charged battery. Since then, all the DS's I got worked. If your...
When I find the time, I'll give it a go at repairing it myself and take a couple of pictures along the way. I will share my findings with the group....
Hello, all I have an F3 whose AI coupling ring has 2 problems: 1. the lock for the tab on the body that engages with the AI ring on the lens is broken. This...
Hi Ross, As for 2), I had some kind of similar problem during a trip in Vietnam with my F801 (N8008). The spring to bring the coupling ring back was dead and...
This is the same condition I have with my Micro, along withoil on the diaphram. What we need is help in the disassembly of the lens. If I find the info, I'll...
I believe most lenses use a "damping grease" such as sold by www.micro-tools.com (I believe that is the URL). I don't think it is totally trivial to deal with...
... Hasn't everyone? <g> I think people forget and get into the mindset of "selling" the item ("what it is worth") vs. the mindset of it being a tool to...
I have an embarrassing question.... I have an N90 that I unfortunatelly 'bumped'. The little white bar that is on the top (illulmination for the digital info...
I have an idea that may work and save you a lot of grief........take a piece of duct tape and gently stick it to the window that fell in. Gently pull up on the...
I actually tried this already and was able to hold it in place with clear plastic tape, but as soon as the tape is off the piece falls back into the housing. I...
I agree with you George, I will not go into this project blindly !! I believe with the proper tools and knoledge, I can repair this lens, I just have to find a...
hi, i bought a fe2 body from ebay and it looks and feels fine but the photo's i made with my nikon wideangle lens 24 mm 2.8 are strange. blurry in the middle...
... I assume when you say "endless focus" you mean infinity, right? This is indeed a strange problem, at least if the blurry area is equal at all edges. If...
First thought is a lens problem, but it might be that the film is not really 'flat' in the body. Maybe investigate the pressure plate for correct alignment. ...
Oh--the joys of buying on e-bay. I'd rather buy from a halfway honest camera shop and pay a little more. inki60 <ania@...> wrote: hi, i bought a fe2 body...
... yes i mean infinite focus, the blurry is actually more in the middle part and the sharp parts are more on the edges if that means anything? i have alot of...
thanks, i did this already and it seems to be fine. actually it looks immaculate there i don't think anything is wrong there because then all my photo's taken...
Hi Just a thought. Use another lens. Set at infinity and aim at a distant but clear target. See if the view finder is in focus. If not adjust lens to focus....

thanks. how can i find out about misaligned focus screen, i put in a new one recently but same problem before and after. how can i see if the is mirror...
Hi, recently, my Nikkor 70-210 4.5-5.6 started having problems focusing to infinity (at all focal lengths). A couple of days after I noticed this problem, I...
Arno It seems that you may have separated the lens at the helix ( heavy threads) The lens can be reassembled MANY ways depending where you start the thread. ...
Lou, thanks for the input. At the front of the lens, there are two lenses whose distance is varied when the focus ring is turned. I took these out together in...
... Well, it's a mystery to me. I think it's probably time to get it checked out by someone with the proper equipment to test camera/lens alignment. - Rick...
