Update to this problem: I was able to troubleshoot and fix this problem of 1) the rewind knob coming off and 2) the safety latch not working correctly. It...
Could I ask for some guidance please? I have a Nikon FE on which everything seems to be working, except that the 'meter coupling lever' does not influence the...
I have here an original Nikonos (I) in good working condition (on land, anyway). Because I think I might try it out in the swimming pool for some photos of my...
Hi, The coupling between the lens's aperture and the meter is done via a small cable that winds up on a spring loaded drum (the drum's spring brings back the...
I sent the lens to Nikon for cleaning. They quoted me 350 then kept it for 9 weeks before returning it with a note saying it was beyond repair. All I wanted...
Very clear. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, Karim. I had no idea about the cable system; now I have some hope that the cable has slipped out, or similar....
Hi Walt, It really depends where and what the dirt is. Could the dirt be fungus? Some rear elements are is sealed/bonded together, and same are tightly glued...
It may be a case of "CYA"--if Nikon broke something during service and did not have the replacement part it could cause much more bad PR that a simple...
Thanks for all the comments! Several things make more sense now. 1) The lens would be a 10k replacement if Nikon broke it 2) Nikon had a hold on service for 6...
A new-to-me N90s with MB-10 just arrived on my doorstep. I ran a new roll of Fuji 200 Superia through it and as expected the results were fantastic, except for...
Hi, Just to add to this post, Its a very tricky and fiddly part to replace, however for anybody that is willing to change these parts themselves I have several...
Hi Jb, I've seen ths problem on an F2 MF-1 250 back. There's overlapping near the end of the roll. The problem was traced to the weak setting of the clutch...
Hi, I recently purchased this lens, but I am new to non-metering lenses and macro lenses. So, I was wondering if anyone had the user manual for the above lens....
... I'm not sure as I only have a III and a V, but the small ring is probably for the flash connector. The standard o-ring sets include user-replaceable rings...

I think, looking at this closer, that the small ring (less diameter than an American dime) is probably for the viewfinder seal at the back rather than an...
Hi, I'm a new member and I joined to try to answer a question. I've got 40 years experience in film and about 40 seconds in digital. I'm trying to ease...
This topic is something I see quite regularly on the various photography forums. People want to know if they need ND grads or split neutral density filters...
Well, I only have vague thoughts for you... * could you be missing focus? remember, what you see through the viewfinder (or even what the AF sensor sees) isn't...
I picked this lens up recently, and discovered a squeaking sound when focussing. Assuming something in the threads, i opened her up, and found that it had been...

To distinguish yourself amongst thousands of other photographers, and land that new client, new project, or get accepted into a challenging art or design...
... Maybe it isn't as terrible as you think. CRC surely works for better edges, but who knows how bad it is at the edges without CRC? Take shots at different...
Dear all, I'm quite new to the forum. Apologise for my straight question about the above lens. I recently acquired used lens of 70-200vr. While people claim it...
Further to the OP's question: * are you looking at jpeg or images from raw? * if jpeg, what size, resolution and image settings are you using? * if raw, what...
Set on autofocus. The problem seems to be worse at lower speeds and comes and goes. I'm still trying to nail down exactly when, at what settings, and why. I...
Looking at the raw file but same thing happens with the .jpg. I open it in both the Nikon software and in Photoshop and I do no processing. I am viewing the...
I agree with you Michael. I think some pictures should be taken in good bright sunlight with a tripod and see if the pictures are still not sharp. Low light...
