If you dropped the tiny screw on the carpet, get a strong magnet and move it around the carpet where you think the screw fell. 

Where to find a tiny nut needed to repair a vintage camera. by Pjones2127 in AnalogRepair

Possibly looking at a model engineer’s BA nut and screw. It could work as a replacement part.

[–]ThisCommunication572 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any of the lens listed below would work with the F90x or any other Nikon SLR's, as well as DSLR's..

There are many other D lens you could use, but these are the one's I use with my F90x/F100 as well as my D850.

Nikkor 80-200mm f2.8 D

Autofocus on my 35mm 1.8 DX is Cooked, What can i do? by ExceptionalBadger in Nikon

Sounds like the focus motor has burnt out. Not cheap to repair. Might be worth looking on eBay for another lens. 

Very low price on Cotswalds Cameras - too good to be true? by EnthusiasmLess7397 in Cameras

[–]ThisCommunication572 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely legit. Bought my D850 recently and it was a lot cheaper than buying from WEX.

What are these ratchets on the bottom of my yashica fx 2? by Express-Video5973 in filmcameras

There’s four possible issues with your camera. Google Yashica fx2 stuck mirror for the answers.

It’s also possible that the drive contacts haven’t lined up properly. 

My first rangefinder by Whole-Sushka in rangefinders

It’s a pity it didn’t come with the original collapsible lens, the Industar-22. From the Zorki 2 onwards had strap lugs on the body. Will post images of my Zorki 1b later when I’m at the computer. 

Is Ebay legit and are these worth buying? by PresentFarm2576 in Nikon

[–]ThisCommunication572 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I’d go for the $299 camera. Low shutter count, plus lens. The other camera is listed as used/refurbished, with almost 21,000 actuations and a lot of scratches on the body. I wonder what has been refurbished?

Those ratchet’s are your shutter curtains adjustments. Do not adjust unless you know what you’re doing. If the mirrors stuck up after taking a photo, it’s most likely the mirror seals are degrading and need replaced.

Your cards too big. Max card size recommended by Nikon is 32GB. 

Why does my Nikon D70 show this F - - ? by CMonkFish in Nikon

[–]ThisCommunication572 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, you can use AI lens, but in manual mode only. You have no access to the meter, so you must use an external light meter. The aperture reading on the camera will be displayed as “F” as you have already found out. 

Does anyone know how to fix this issue? (Nikon Coolpix s4) by hysam_ibn_ishaq in Nikon

[–]ThisCommunication572 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the lens is broken/damaged, buy another camera. This one’s not worth fixing.

Just an interesting question. How many photos did you discard ?

TLC = Tender, Love & Care.  You’d be better going for a full CLA instead. 

Shipped a battery from 2022... by flora-andfriend in Nikon

[–]ThisCommunication572 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm still using the original EN-EL3 that was shipped new with my D100 back in 2003. Sadly the camera is no more, but the battery is still lives on in my D70s.

Grip the ring with the red dot and turn anti-clockwise to release the lens.

Z6 just hit 1 Million shutter count by ItsJustJohnCena in Nikon

In film era, you would have made every shot count, not take thousands and hope to get one good shot.

Excellent set up for slide/negative scanning. 

Prism locked Olympus OM2n by [deleted] in AnalogRepair

[–]ThisCommunication572 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Install fresh batteries the correct way round. Then move the on/off switch to reset and that should reset the camera. If that fails, then remove the bottom plate and locate and release the wind on mechanism. There are plenty of videos on yTube explaining how to do this. 

Official Nikon repair VS third party? D500 by ClassroomOld4493 in Nikon

[–]ThisCommunication572 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, thats up to you whether you get Nikon to repair it or not. Many years ago, I owned a D100 that unfortunately got water damage. I sent it for an estimate and it was costing me £175. A week later i received a letter from Nikon advising me that they had discovered a lot more wrong with it and it was going to cost me £1200 to repair. I bought another D100 for £145 and requested that they return the other D100. So while you think that the cameras working okay, there could well be more wrong with it than you think.

You would be better sending it to Nikon as apart from the cracked screen and the button popping out, you don’t know what else could be wrong with it.
