Hi Trinity28:

The Nikonos takes standard 35mm film, you can get it anywhere.

To open the camera for loading, FIRST, REMOVE THE LENS. You do this by pulling the lens out away from the camera and twisting it 90 degrees, and it will come away. Trying to open the camera with the lens still on can cause damage.

With the lens off, hook the little levers on the neckstrap rings under the little tabs above them, and press down on the levers to lift the top of the camera up. Now the inner chassis will lift out of the shell.

When you put the lens back on, don't forget to press it back firmly against the camera body after it's in place.

Hi Brian:

No, that is not normal. The locked-up mirror and the locked-up wind lever are both part of the same problem, which I think may be electrical.

First, double check that you have put the battery in the right way up.

If that isn't the problem, then it may be, especially if the camera has been stored for years with a battery in it, that the wire to the battery compartment has corroded and broken off.

Any such total loss of power would lock up the electrically controlled shutter, which in turn would lock the wind lever and (I think) leave the mirror stuck in the up position.

My mom has a Nikon FG 35 mm that she got when my parents got married. It has been put away for a while and i busted it out of retirement today.

i do not know what the proper names are for different parts of the camera but i will do my best to describe the issues.

I put brand new batteries in it today so just fyi.

Well first off, i am not able to see anything through the eye hole. I took off the lens and saw that the mirror is flipped upward blocking the view of any vision through the eye hole. it is able to be moved down by finger but does not stay down, it appears as though something is blocking it from going all the way down. i do not know if this is normal but if it is please let me know, and if it's not, how do i fix it.

another thing is that the winder where the right hand goes with taking a picture is either locked/frozen/or broken. it will not budge, does it need film in the canister in order to actually do that or is it frozen?

Thanks!
Brian

I have a Nikon F801 with a broken auto-aperture mechanism.

That is, whenever the camera is called to set the aperture, it fails. Instead the photo is always taken at minimum aperture, regardless of what is shown in the viewfinder. This is with a 50mm f/1.4 and also tried with Sigma 28-200.

In use, most photos are highly underexposed except for the ones that use TTL flash, or aperture priority/manual mode.

I can put the camera in shutter speed priority mode on a setting such that the aperture would be wide open....i.e. setting a high shutter speed in a dim room, which would force a large aperture. I can visually confirm that even when the viewfinder indicates f/1.4, the aperture leaves close all the way when I take the picture. It seems that TTL flash is 'smart' enough to expose the film properly anyway. The little lever on the back of the lens mount works very smoothly and the DOF preview works fine as well.

Is this a common failure with these cameras? Is it easy to fix? Or am I doing something wrong?

Hi Renata:

Pressing the rewind button did not make your camera jam. The most likely cause is a dead battery. Try replacing the battery and see if that brings the camera back to life.

I have a Nikon FG manual camera and i pressed the film rewind button while there is no film in the camera and it made the camera mirror to go up and its not coming down, and you can not see anything thru the camera viewfinder. Please tell me how to get the film rewinder button come down so that we can see thru the viewfinder?

Are the G series of Nikkor lenses (which have no aperure ring)compatible with the F801s, which has no means of controlling aperture from the camera body, in SP or progam mode?
