I had just purchased a nikon em...
I put the film in, and did everything i was supposed to(wind it, advance it). But all the sudden, the shutter release is stuck, and won't come back up. HELP!

hi, i just discovered this site so i am unaware of the navigation. i have a Nikon FG. Lately, i have been experiencing some technical difficulties with it. When I opt to take a picture, the lever goes back and comes back in, and when i push the shutter, nothing happens. i'm quite puzzled.

Hi Colleen: If the surface of the lens is dirty it can be cleaned; if it is scratched, it cannot be economically repaired, but it may not be serious enough to cause any problems in use.

To clean the lens, first brush away any loose dirt with a soft brush (or canned air). Then, if you do not have lens cleaning fluid and tissues, you can use a soft cloth like a well laundered T-shirt and water to gently wipe the surface of the lens to remove dirt. Finally, breathe on the glass and wipe it clean with a dry portion of the cloth. If you have a micro-fiber cloth available, that is more effective than regular cotton for removing fingerprints and similar marks.

Any marks that remain after this, you're probably stuck with.

Hi I have a nikon FG-20 camera I got from my mother and it seems the lense inside is either dirty or maybe scratched, I was just wondering if there is a way of cleaning it or repairing it. I took the lense off to see if it was that, that was scratched but I still see a smudge or scratch through the lense . thanks for the help

Re:submitting photos:- Hi there! I will start by stating my belief that not only is yours the most informative and interesting Nikon site I have ever seen, it is one of the BEST web sites on ANY subject I have seen in 15 years of browsing. It reminds me of when the web it was at its best providing a TON of information with no garbage on screen. Only beautiful photographs compete with the text on your web site and they are a pleasure to view.

I must also mention your own writing style. Despite referring to it occasionally and modestly yourself it is also a pleasure to read and NEVER confusing. I come from England myself and find it hard not to criticise my neighbouring Americans sometimes while living here for their English!!! The only language that matters on your site is the language NIKONESE, and you speak it fluently, with an obvious respect and devotion you should be very proud of!

You are missing some specs on the FB-7 Nikon Compartment Case on your website, that I think I can help with. The case has the following dimensions: H-8" (21cm) W-12.5" (31.5cm) Depth-8" (21cm). It also has a zippered hard lid and a front accessory pouch.

You have a great website for classic Nikon reference. Keep up the good work.

Hi Bob: I don't have a lot of adivce, but here it is for what it's worth:

1) Make a separate listing for each camera and each significant accessory; don't try selling it all as a lot, because there may be buyers who really want, for instance, the 1974 F but not the F4 (and vice versa).

2) Describe each piece clearly.... both in the text and in the heading. People will search for "Nikon F4", or for "Nikon F-4"... so include both versions in your heading so the searches will all find you.

3) Include clear, sharp photographs. If there are any flaws in an item, point them out both in the text and in the photos so that buyers can judge for themselves.

4) Don't worry too much about the price; set a reasonable or below-reasonable starting bid and let the auction establish the value. If you want an idea of what sort of price you can expect, search for the same items under "Completed Auctions" - the prices in green indicate that the item sold successfully; prices in red did not sell and so may have been set too high.

I hope this helps. Good luck!

They say, "That time comes when ... ." Well, I suppose, for me, you could say "That time has come." After thirty-five years of enjoying the purchase and use of Nikon cameras, Nikon flashes, Bowens studio lighting, Nikkor and Nikon lens, motor drives, various filters, etc., the time has come for me to "get real" about the notion that I can't take the stuff with me, no matter how much I love it. So, I am preparing to put all my equipment (which is quite a collection, as compared to that a normal person might garner through life) on the auction block.

My four Nikon cameras (F/1974, F3, F4, and EM) form the foundations around which my entire collection is built. Presently, I am photographing all the equipment as best I can to demonstrate the pride I have exercised in keeping my equipment in clean and faultless working condition. I can honestly say: If I were in the market for a nice piece of used equipment I would be unrealistic to think I would find any in better condition than that which I am selling. The collection, as a whole, really is a testament to careful and prideful ownership.

So, given my intentions — to sell my entire collection, I am soliciting advice from those of you, fellow nikonians, who may care to share your knowledge and experience in selling equipment through internet auction. If you feel you know some obscurities of the process that would benefit my selling of the equipment, I would greatly appreciate your sharing that knowledge with me. Maybe more importantly, I want to give potential buyers the kind of information they need to have confidence in my integrity, and the true character and integrity of the equipment they may be interested in purchasing. I would like for each purchaser to be surprised in only one way — that the equipment condition, mechanically and aesthetically, exceeds their expectations. I look forward to any advice you may choose to share. For you to take the few minutes it will take to share your thoughts will be most kind; and, I assure you I will be most appreciative. Thank you for taking time to read this posting. Bob Fillpot.

Would you have any idea of a source for a capacitor (condenser) for the Nikon BC5 flash unit? The only markings on it are 39.6. Cheers from Oklahoma.
