Dear Nikon friends,
I got a good old F3 with MD-4. It works fine together with the MD-4 but not
without, even if I put 2 new button cells in AND THE MAIN...
Hi Jochen, I never took the bottom plate off a F3 but it was safe doing so (no springs popping out, no wires attached, no part falling off) on many cameras...

I haven't fixed that particular lens but I do believe it is made nearly the same as a 300 2.8 which I cleaned. The part that you see is loose is probably the...

You're in a good situation - it doesn't look like you can do much more damage to the screw heads - no way to go but to something a bit more drastic. ;-) Using...
You've got some seriously stripped screw heads on that lens! And it looks like someone butchered both the lens mount and the aperture ring trying to use a ...
Pat, While your suggestions for screw removal are good and will work on some situations, I've never had any luck with those techniques on lens mount screws. ...
Thanks for the info about the L/H bits being available from Micro-Tools - I guess I never read that far down in their listing. Now, if someone only had "e-z...

Hi, I have recently started having a problem with an 18-70mm kit lens on a D70. The lens has recently started mis-focusing in AF by approx 3 inches rearwards...
... This is a well-known problem with the D70. It is usually referred to as "back focus", if you want to look through the D70 forums for discussions -...
... Hi Rick, Thank you for your response. I think it is a lens rather than body problem as two other lenses work fine with this body. The 18-70 was also ok...
