Looking for the above. Anyone have one FS or trade? TIA Don...
Hi group, I took my trusty old F501 out yesterday, before heading into the mountains on a photography hike, and discovered I had left the batteries in too...
Thanks for the feedback on the camera. I've taken wisdom from the group and decided to not have it repaired. I'll use it for spare parts or unload it on Ebay....
... It's likely to be cheaper to buy a replacement AF body (doesn't have to be new) than to repair the F501. If your lenses are standard Nikon AF (not F3AF)...
Hi For what it's worth, it seems to me that you didn't dig far enough. Sometimes?? The corrosion goes further into the camera and corrodes the power wire (or...
Thanks to all for the ideas. I found a good body for cheap on ebay. I'm also going to dig deeper into this one, like someone suggested. It could well be the...
My LCD on my 995 CP has been dead for some time. An aquaintance has a broken CP 4300. I would like to attempt to swap LCD's. Is this feasible? There used to...
If one has Nikkor AF lenses from the late 1980's, which modern Nikon camera bodies will work? What would be a recommended late model upgrade over the old...
Trond, Basically all Nikon AF lenses will work on all Nikon AF bodies (excluding the AF version of the F3). The big differential becomes the decision relating...
Bill, Rick - Thanks. Dug into the f501 - one of the spring clips in the battery box was badly corroded, so much so that both of the little spring fingers were ...
Trond Seems that I was right!! Good job digging into the battery box. How handy are you with a soldering iron?? You can hard wire the connections as long as...
Hi all, The other day I dropped my faithfull F2 while it was mounted to the tripod center post and the tripod mount bracket on the camera broke in half. This...
Perry, It's not clear exactly what part you need. Is it the "bridge" which the chrome socket fits into, and which is screwed into the body by 4 slot screws? Or...
Trond : I've got a scrap 501 with a good battery box. Where are you? My insurers are sending me a new F80 to replace it so you're welcome to the box for...
David, I'm in Idaho Falls, Idaho. What a lifesaver this will be, thanks so much. private email is trond@.... If you email me your phone #, I'll give...
David, It is the bridge peice which fastens to the chassis with 4 screws and holds the treaded insert which is locked in place with a set screw. Thanks Perry ...
Hi. My trusty FE has developed a fault with the light meter. When the aperture is set on 5.6 and 4 the meter needle either move eratically or moves to the off...
Hi Trond, Although the F100 is a heck of a good camera, a clean used N8008 or N90 is a great bang for the buck. You could probably get 2 or 3 for the price of...

Hi, Simon. I will look to see if I have diagrams of it. It sounds to me like the variable resistor which is controlled by your aperture ring has become dirty...

Hi, I've been following this group (and photo.net) for years but have now joined NikonRepair as I have a question. My MD-12 has ceased to work (I use it with...
The first step is to look for corrosion in the battery compartment. This is a common problem with the MD-12, especially if the batteries are left in the unit...
