I recently saw on that infamous auction site, a water damaged D200 and various AF lenses for sale for parts. The owner said Nikon Canada would not repair them....
Unfortunately, it is extremely difficult to save any camera which has been dunked in water. If the water is salt water, things get worse. The more simple the...

... Hi Henrik I have a D200 and use it with MF lenses, it work great, very much like your old cameras. I have a very old 135/F2.8 bought for 50,- DKK which was...
I've mounted a Vivitar Series 1 35-70 f2.8 that was AI'd (by me) with my D200. Seems to work on centerweighted metering only. On the other hand, my 105 f2.5...
Hello, Syfe. You can use my instructions here to remove the focus screen for cleaning: http://www.kyphoto.com/classics/sealreplacement.html Work carefully....
Three tips for you: 1.) Buy a foam rubber light seal kit from Jon Goodman. 2.) After you VERY carefully remove the screen, replace the mirror bumper foam...
Hey, just wanted to thank the people who checked out the new Nikon Forum. We are up to 190 members and still growing. If you have not done so yet, you can...
Hi all I recently purchased a well used FA from ebay, I cleaned it up and replaced all the foam (thanks Jon), I really enjoy using the little beast but would...
I recently acquired a damaged FM2 with an AF Nikkor 35-70 zoom for a nominal sum, thinking that the lens might be useful as a medium telephoto if and when I...

... Nice one, Dave! I suspect the problem in the UK is that camera shops, (as opposed to what you call "mall stores" like Jessops(?)), hardly exist any more....

Hi Dick, This is really very easy to do. Take the lens off the camera, hold by the stationery ring, with the mount towards you. Look at the slotted "screw" at...
... Two scenarios come to mind here, and neither one points to bad AF. If it's the f/3.3 - 4.5 version of the 35-70, it may be that the person chose to pair...
My Coolpix 8800 (through laughing yet?) will not trigger the shutter using the button. It will trigger via the remote control. Futzing with the on-off switch...
... Sadly, it's only the f3.3-4.5 version. But I guess your first scenario is plausible. Can I take it from what's been said that damage to an AF camera...
Hi, I do some repair to my Nikon bodies. In order to remove the wind crank on some of those I have noticed that: - in EM the screw is left threaded - in FE, FA...
Hi, It should be a right hand thread. I know it is opposet that of an EM. It does have a set screw like the EM. Good luck. Perry gehageh <ghatziyannis@...>...
George The FG has a normal thread on the crank. Left loosen - right to tighten. There is no set screw it is just tight. I use a rubber ring (originally from a...
