Hi Bill:

I don't have a D50, but I'm going to stick my neck out and say no, you can't do that. On most digital SLRs, unlike compact point&shoot cameras, the screen on the back only shows the picture AFTER it is taken, it does not serve as a second viewfinder. This is because an SLR has a mirror and shutter in front of the sensor, so until the mirror goes up and the shutter opens there is no image for the screen to show.

Some newer DSLRs do have the screen active for viewing and composing, a feature which they call "Live View" when it's provided on an SLR. To do this, the camera has an entire second image sensor just for the purpose of creating this screen image, since the real sensor is still blocked by the mirror and shutter. I believe, though, that this feature has been introduced more recently than the D50 camera.

Site Progress Update 30.08.2008:- Three rarely seen Nikon F2 / Nikkormat FT & NIKONOS II DUMMY display cameras with Dummy lenses. Just for knowledge base only. Many of these are collectible now.

Hi Heather:

Your EM lenses will work perfectly on the Nikkormat FT3, and Nikon EL2, FE, FE2, FM, FM2, FA, FG, FG20, and F3 cameras (there may be others that I don't recall). The FG and FG20 are the most similar to your EM, they are basically an EM with added features. On earlier models (F, F2, Nikkormat FTN, etc), the lenses will fit but the meter coupling connections are missing; on later, autofocus models, the lenses will also fit but again you may not have light meter functions depending on the model.

Hi Dick:

Very nice find! The S is actually not an SLR but a rangefinder camera, one of the first Nikon cameras.... the first 3 Nikons were the 1, the M and the S, but the 1 and M were limited production models that were not imported to the USA.

I can't give you a good value for your camera, but it will be several hundred dollars. A good way to get a realistic idea is to watch completed sales on eBay and see what the same model goes for. Nikon values vary quite a lot by model, so be sure you're looking at the same one you've got: the S is the least valuable of the regular-production Nikon rangefinders, they seem to go steadily up in price as you get to later models. Even so, any Nikon rangefinder camera is a serious collector's item.

I recently found my dad's Nikon S 35mm SLR camera serial number 6095495 manufactured on July 28, 1951 with what I beleive is a wide angle lens 318708, Arco range finder, and an additional range finder serial no. 323582. All have original leather cases, inspection reports and guarantee paper work. Camera is in excellent condition based on appearance.

I apologize if this is an improper forum to ask this question, but I am wondering what these items might be worth? Thank you in advance for any help you might render. Please respond via email

Hi Serena:

That is not good. The broken screws may be the least of your problems, especially if you had planned to use the camera under water, because the force of the levers may have caused internal damage and leaks. If it had been a Nikonos III, there would be little or no hope for it; luckily the II is a bit stronger in the top end and it may be repairable. I can't recommend a repair service in particular, but I would look for someone who specializes in Nikonos repair... there are a few of these along the coast who handle Nikonos and other underwater gear. A regular camera repair service without Nikonos experience may not be able to spot some of the possible leak issues (the camera's design is unique in other areas as well)

I have just bought a Nikonos Calypso II and a friend of mine was trying to take it apart without taking the lese off first. Yes we have a few broken screws now which is very upsetting. How can I get this fixed.
