Hi The FM2 is a precision instrument. In order to get the amazing 1/4000 sec. speed it has super light titanium foil shutter blades that are waffle shaped to...
Well, if the blades are bent you won't have much to lose by trying to straighten them. But, I think the most sensible approach is to look for a working...
I'll preface this suggestion with "at your own risk" carefully lift mirror, with back open "pinch" with thumb on back and fore finger on front, lightly and...
Hi. My MF 26 occassionally prints some garbled characters onto the film frame when the printing is turned off. It seems to happen infrequently and a couple of...

Hi All. I recently acquired a factory AI'd 16mm f/3.5 Fisheye and I would like to: 1) re-lube the helicoids, maybe with a thicker (silicone) grease 2)...
... I took apart my 16mm AF 2.8 Not sure how far off these two lenses are, but you'll need to come at it from the mount side as well as the lens front side....
Wow, thanks for the detailed response. The 16mm f/3.5 differs from the 2.8 mainly in angle of view (170 instead of 180 degrees, respectively). I suspect they...
... Only the Heilicoids may have a left hand thread, I can't remember which have it, the inner or outer. I use a toothbrush and some electrical cleaner to ...
Hi all. I have been given as a present a Nikkormat FT3 with its lens mount system tottaly dismantled. It seems that most or all of its parts exist, so i think...

Hi all. I was just on a trip and my d70 decided to die the first day into the trip. Bummer. In any event I'm back in Japan and I'm wondering if anyone has any ...
Hi, You probably have already done this but did you check your battery? with a low battery your shutter/mirror can do some funny things and give you an error...
Yeah, not the battery at all. I think the shutter is out of whack. I've read a few descriptions of my problem from others with a d70. A servicing seems to fix...
Can anyone provide info on removing the built in lens hood on the 105/4 AIS lens. With the lens fully extended and the hood extended, one side exhibits 2 small...
