Hi All. Can anyone give me some pointers on how to remove the hood on the larger / faster MF tele lenses? I have an AI-S 200mm f/2 (122mm filter) and would...
At this point it looks to me that the forwardmost "tube" of the lens body (big, ca 125mm diameter) screws onto the rest of the lens body and is locked into...
Hi I'm after a FRE for my FE - will the FM unit fit it? If so how much would you want for one? Cheers Simon ... repair manual to see if it compatable with...
... won't ... Just a thought, although I haven't worked on this particular lens: Usually Nikon overdid things and secured their threads with some sort of...
The assembly that the FRE is in is different on the FE compared to the FM. The actual FRE I thought might be interchangable. I have repair manuals on both of...

I bought a jammed Nikkormat FT-3 for less than the cost of a roll of film. I figured if unjamming it was unsuccessful, I could use the camera body as a back...
From what I remember seeing is that the shutter had not totally completed the cycle. I could see that it was just touching the upper end of its travel (no...
