I am trying to make a battery pack for the Kodak dcs 520 (which is the same as the Canon d2000) and I need to know the pinouts for the battery and for the power supply. From what I know, the battery has two slits, one for 7.2 positive and one for 7.2 negative. However, the other slits in the battery somehow is able to tell the camera that an authorized battery is in use. As for the ac power adapter, I am now under the impression that besides the two larger pins (+ -), the third pin has some type of function, again probably to tell the camera that an authoriaed power supply is being used. I would greatly appeciate any help in this area. Thank you.

I have been doing that for a long time, no issue. TTL auto-compensate for exposure reading. Guideline are set and sometimes reviewers tend to follow the printed leaflets (for an example, using reflex with a F5 was suggested using stopdown AE) but it also works on non-conventional ways. I am not concerned because it fits (mount) without problems/resistant (mine was a newer 500 manual reflex-nikkor. However, if you feel there are resistance when attempts to mount such a lens onto camera, STOP !

Please help: I have a D100 and an old 500mm Reflex Nikkor. After checking newsgroups I had the courage to mount it and set the D100 to M. Took some great shots. Now after reading Thom Hogan and some others ("Do Not Use") I'm worried. If the thing mounts without forcing and takes pictures, can it damage the camera? It is a non-ai lens, but as I said, mounted without force. Does anyone know for sure if this lens can somehow damage the D100, and if so, how?

Can you reply to my e-mail as well, as I'm very new to all this! THANKS, Ron

YES. You can. Only the more serious models like the D1/2 XXX series can be used with full information display, newer or "cheaper" Nikon can be used but stupidly, Nikon removed the data display so as to force users to update the Nikkor to newer ones.

My name is Mirian de Marsillac, I'm a dentist in Brazil. I want to know if the Nikkor medical is still being produced. Can it be used on a digital Nikon camera (i.e. D2X)? If is not on the market what other lenses could I use for dental photography that would give me a proportion of 2:1 picture? What flash would I be needing? Thank You.

Donald, this is what leo forwarded message relating to the Kodak/VR combination. " .... From: Subject: Re:Nikon/Kodak DCS-760 Thank you for the E-mail of 13 Sep 2005 the Nikon VR Nikkor lenses. We are sorry for our delay in reply. However, we have to inform you that we are not in a position to comment about the product spec manufactured by other companies. We therefore kindly ask you to contact Kodak or Fuji directly for necessary information. Yours very truly, Communications Department Imaging Company NIKON CORPORATION, Japan...". Make sense to contact Fuji or Kodak then.

Logical thinking (personal) may suggest a "no". I think it requires architeture of newer AF digital bodies to supplement as well. Try ask Kodak (I have tried - they point me to buy the DCS14n @%$#$((@!!). It is a Nikon product - probably Nikon may provide the best answer (I have also tried - no reply...^#$*(@(!!) !

I'm thinking about buying a Nikon Zoom Telephoto AF VR Zoom Nikkor 70-200 f/2.8 D G-AFS ED-IF Auto Focus with Vibration Reduction to use on my Kokak DCS 760. Will the Vibration Reduction work on my 760?
