... I'm under the impression that Nikon consider the manuals to be in the public domain. I'm not certain who told me this, but I think it might have been Gray...
Hi Most of these cameras that we are concerned with are close to 40 years old!! The manufacturer will give you the impression that they are copy protected but...
Apart from the copyright duration, most camera technical manuals can't actually be copyrighted at all in many countries, since they lack requisites like...
... Chris, Do you have any F2 repair manuals? Not that I would try to do that myself. I have already had my F2s fixed up by Sover. But I'm curious. Phil...

Someone recently gave me an old 400 mm f6.3 _preset_ Spiratone lens. (I worked for a summer at Spiratone in Flushing, NY, as a shipping clerk. A long, long...
I don't know if there's much variation amongst the Spiratone lenses, but I recently bought a Spiratone 18 mm f/3.5 and I'm amazed at just how damn good it is....
Phil, Micro Tools (_www.micro-tools.com)_ (http://www.micro-tools.com)) is a good source of specialized lens tools such as the spanner it sounds like you need....
... I take everything that Ken R says with large boulders of salt. :) ... I'm curius about it. At the time, Spiratone was known for relatively low cost but...
... I ust went to the web site, and went through the spanner wrench section, but I'm thoroughly confused. Too many choices, and I'm not sure how to select the...
... Personally I agree with about 90% of what Ken writes. I think his advice is mostly sound. By the way, here's a picture I took a few months ago with my...
I have an 80 f1.9 Spiratone in YS automatic mount, by the way a t mount will fit rendering the lens as a manual only lens. It's a great portrait lens or a...

... Hi. I'm not clear on what you did with the Nikon Micro Nikkor lens. Did you disassemble and clean the lens, or change out the camera mount at the rear of...

Hi, I obtained a Nikkor AF-D 35-80mm lens of which the apperture blades are all lying loose in the barrel. Now I am looking for some help to repair it. I...
Hi Jack, As I remember when I dismount and clean my AF-D 35-80, you have to dismount all the white cams which move the lens groups. Then I guess the diaphragm...
I am using the Nikkor ED AF-S 80-200mm 1:2.8 D, and the Nikkor ED AF-I 300mm 1:2.8 D lenses on a JVC pro HD video camera. I have a Zoerk/Nikon lens adapter...
