Nevermind guys, I got 'er done. To sum it up: Instructions are the same as what's out there already online... 1. Remove front nameplate with friction,...
... I have done a couple of these repairs on this particular lens (and several other very similar small Nikkor primes). It is a fairly involved repair, and you...
Hello, I'm looking for ideas on how to go about this. The aperture blades of my Nikkor 105mm f2.5 AIS are always open, and actuating on the linkage lever has...
... My "tool" is homemade, but is similar in principle to this set: http://www.micro-tools.com/store/P-LRSET/Lens-Ring-Tool-Set.aspx It's used for (among other...
Hello NikonRepairs, I had taken apart my 35 1.8 DX lens for cleaning, but when I put it back together it would not autofocus. The AF-Assist light would come on...
I have an old nikon 105mm f2.5 AI lens. When I tip it forward I can hear a clunk as the glass moves. When I turn it over again I hear another clunk as the...
I think the bayonet mount needs to be replaced on my recently purchased 80-200 f/2.8 AF-S, there is quite a bit of play both rotationally and laterally when...
Thank you very much for your reply Jeroen, I have been reading the relevant sections in the repair manual and have two questions - Does the rear housing and...

Well I think I fixed it by putting a rubber seal ( like an O-ring ) below the front filter ring of the lens. Everything is now tight. Any comments would still...
You should probably double-check that your focus range is still correct after the fix. In other words, do you still have infinity focus? Do you still have the...
I own a Nikon F3 and it appears to only take photos with the motor drive (MD-4) attached. When the motor drive is not attached, the film advance lever does not...
Hi, One difference I can see between with and without MD4 is power. Are you sure of your batteries ? Is the lightmeter indicating anything ? Does the manual...
The lightmeter is functioning properly while the camera is on. Yet, I did just try the manual release and it did work! What strikes me as disappointing is that...
There's an internal electrical connection to the left of the prism mount that gets oxidized. The old Camera 911 site used to show the repair method for this...
Hi, Maybe you have weak batteries or the battery contacts (on the body) are a bit dirty (clean them with a (small) pencil eraser). Also, IIRC, there is a...
I've purchased brand new batteries and the camera's release finally works! In addition, just to be on the safe side, I cleaned the battery contacts, which...
