I have a 35-70 mm Nikon lens, not the good f/2.8 model, but the f/3.3-4.5 or something like that. The one that used to come be sold with camera bodies as a...
I have a Nikon 17-35mm AF-S lens that is zooming roughly. I had it repaired under warranty for the same problem about two years ago. Does anyone know if this...
Matt, Can't help you with the repair, but don't be too hard an that little 35-70 f/3.3-4.5. I assume you have the AF version, it is considered a real ...
... If this is the AF "kit"lens, another good unit can be had for less than it will cost to CLA, as far as DIY, if you've never had any lens open before I...

Please anyone help me: what can I do to make my newly bought lens focus all through ? Can something have been pushed around - the UV- filter was nearly...
I assume you bought this lens used and can't return it as defective. If the UV filter was difficult to remove that could suggest impact damage, but it also...
My FE has the same problem when out of battery - in my case have to screw of the bottom of the camera (3 small screws) and with a neadle pull back the tiny...
Hi - so it is. I only gave about 60 USD for the lens, and my test photos were all OK (taken on 2-6 m :-) The lens had got a blow on the edge - but anyway...
I don't have a manual for that lens, but perhaps someone else on the list can help. William Sampson http://hometown.aol.com/wdshpbiz/AImod.html [Non-text...
I've just acquired a 50-300 AI (non-ED) Telephoto that needs cleaning of the internal optics. There's been an obvious exposition either to severe humidity (or...
Hi That sounds like a nice lens. The fact that you have to ask if you can take it apart and clean it tells me that it would be very difficult for you to do. ...
In fact, it is a nice lens. From what I've seen, it can take much nicer images than it does in its actual condition. I will have an estimation done at a local...
Idle curiosity here. If someone sends a lens to Nikon for repair and they decide that the estimate is too high and they dont want to spend the money to have...
Ed Before you send it to Nikon, check a couple of local shops. Also to answer your original question, why don’t you ask Nikon before you ship. Another point,...
Hopefully, I am I'm not working the solution from the end (see my previous reply). If the cost for estimates are that low ($16), I think it is a calculated...
n5kzw, I know for a fact that it's up to me to take it back, or leave it to them. Having worked myself in a service department for customer electronics, I...
I have a Nikon FE that apparently had the rewind handle unscrewed from the body. The stem that attaches to the rewind handle assembly appears to have slipped...
Take a large paper clip and straighten a section of it (about 1.5 inches). Bend the last 1/8" of that section into a 90 degree angle (right angle). Use that...
If you don't have any luck with Jon's method, you could try removing the bottom plate and that may provide access to the film chamber with a tool like a...

Hi You seem to be on the right track! The washer is just a plain washer that is used as a spacer. It will most likely work either way, but the reason I write...
Many Many thanks for all the advice !! I managed to get the FE fixed this evening after a couple of false starts. Patience prevailed and now the rewind...
Just don't rewind the film in the wrong direction. The reason that I know that repair, is because my girlfriend, did it twice, to one of my FE's. I've ...
