I'm one of your big fan for MIR camera info site that you're running. I'm getting much information from your site, and it is thanksful :-) Recently I purchased a second hand Nikon 35TI compact camera AS IS with some mechanical fault. I don't have many people to ask, neither I don't speak Japanese thus I feel some difficulty to repair. Mechanical Problem, As you see from below link, 35TI indicates [focus distance], [exposure], [exposure compenstation], and [film counter] on the analog display.

My 35TI has problem for [focus distance] indicator that is about 2 steps above than normal.It must come back to [AF] when I turn off, however it goes about 2 steps beyond that [AF] character.Of course, it always indicates 2 steps lower distance. Can you advice me that how can I fix that problem using [Custom Setting] ? (just someone advice me that it would possible to correct, however he doesn't know how to do) Just for your information, I've tried [02 0 01] to initialize settings, however it doesn't affect anything to correct the
indicator.

[35TI custom functions]

01 1 00 : Auto Flash
01 1 01 : Auto Flash off
01 2 00 : 3D 6 Matrix Exposure
01 2 01 : Center Matrix Exposure
01 3 00 : Shutter Speed on Viewfinder
01 3 01 : Exposure value on Viewfinder
01 4 00 : Date on all frame
01 4 01 : Date on selected frame
02 0 00 : Save Custom Setting
02 0 01 : Initialize Custom Setting

(I've translated from Korean to English, thus it may have different wording) Many thanks for your advice in advance, and I wish you have happy new year :-)

Regards, a visitor

Good question. First make sure yours is a Ai version (Ai-S, to be exact). N65 cannot show the exposure data (basically it requires a AF Nikkor -spec lens to be "compatible"). you cna still mount the lens to shot pictures (except it will not show any data in the LCD $#@&#*^^, I know..). use aperture priority, manual and Ai-s at f32/22 it can even perform shutter spriority and programmed AE control. To sum it all - get an AF lens. It is nothing wrong with the camera/lens combination - only just Nikon way to make ore profit by forcing users to buy their AF Nikkor. that is all.

I have a Nikon N65 and was wondering if a Vivitar 70-210mm lens would be any good for it..

My question is regarding a Cooke Amotal Anastigmat F2 ELC lens in a S mount. How rare and aproximately how much is it worth? How much is a Nikon S2 Black focusing number collar and black synch collar worth? Thank you, Petr

RE NIKON FG, I have not used my camera for a long time. I may have made some mistake in installig new batteries. The shutter on my Nikon FG became locked when I pressed the hutter release button. How do I unlock it. The sutter release button is o.k, but the shutters are locked

Pull the film rewind lever up (the black part within the ASA/ISO setting ring), the back will pop open :)

NIKON D1X Is it possible to have a time and date stamp on the photos as you take them? I cannot find this feature in my manual.

I have a Nikon FG that I got in 1983 and I love it. When I used it in cold weather evidently the battery got too low and the shutter closed but will not reopen. I put a new battery in, but I still can't get it to close. This happened once before when I first got it and a camera shop fixed it but didn't show me what they did. Can someone help? Thanks

Hi Gen: The meter would have to be readusted if you changed to a screen of significantly different brightness, but you don't need to do that just to replace a scratched screen or to change to a different pattern like an all-matte or grid screen. Screens in the EM-FG series are not difficult to change. The trick is finding a new screen to put in.... chances are it will have to come out of another camera.
