The lens on my eyelevel prism on my Nikon F SN 698xxxx has become severely scratched and I would like to replace it. The lens is the rectangular style so I...
Are you talking about the prism itself? That is the part that you view through. If so, because prism heads are so costly (even used), I think I would contact...
I just need the lens. The prism is OK. I may have to do what you suggest. I have avoided it as long as possible. Eyelevel prisms have become very expensive,...

Hello, I have a Nikon F3 and I have a little problem with it. On all the shutter speeds faster than 1/60 and "A" mode LCD shows just 80. Could you please help...
Hi Perry, Thanks you for your answer. I have checked that point but as I can remember it still stays on 80 after 1. frame but I will check it again. Do you...
Hi Safa, If the problem is related to the frame counter, it should display 80 with whatever speed you set (including speeds slower than 1/60). I've quickly...
Hi again, Section 4-3-9 of the repair manual states the following: In auto the speed will be set to 80 untill the counter reaches 1 For manual speed setting...
Hi, Have you tried to set the speed dial to manual speed. If it is a problem with the battery going dead this will correct the situation. If not there are...

What little experience I had was years ago, and never in the water! The condition of all O-rings and proper grease to be used on these rings are critical to...

Dear all, Yesterday due to my stupidity, I accidently touched the rim of the reflex mirror during normal cleaning. The fabric I used was PEC-PAD. It left a ...
Considering that you are talking about a slight smudge which isn't a visible problem you may want to consider leaving it alone. On the other hand, if its not...
Hi Silawat, I have successfully cleaned Nikon mirrors using cotton swabs (sometimes called "q tips") and a very small amount of 99% alcohol added to the cotton...
Duck feather, as I recall. I use the rule of never touch the mirror with any more pressure than you would use if you were touching your eyeball with your...
Hi There are so many ways to do the same thing so here goes mine: I clean mirrors by taking a 1" strip of paper towel and some Windex. I wet one end. That is...
Thank you everyone, your suggestions are very informative and helpful, I have one more question, I've heard that the mirror is coated with something to protect...
I do not allow cans or hoses from tanks of compressed air near any of my camera equipment. I once saw a nozzle collide with a leaf shutter/ iris effectively...
