I just bought a silver FM3a after having an FE-2. My question is if the silver cover around the lens mount, which has the "Nikon" logo imprinted/engraved is made of plastic. It feels not as cool as the base and top plate and can be slightly(!) pulled away from the prism housing if grabbed near the "N"ikon. I checked with a voltmeter and it's not conductive. But then the silver ring on my 50/1.2 Ai-S is not conductive either.

I may be paranoid and have no idea whether there are fake bodies out there, so... yes, I must be paranoid 8-)

Thanks for your help!

Best,
Torsten

Hi Natalie:

The first thought that comes to mind is that the film may have slipped off of the takeup spool after you loaded it, and so never traveled through the camera. The only other possibility is that for some reason the shutter is not opening (which is nearly a mechanical impossibility, if you could hear it click and you could wind on to the next frame). You can check for that easily by opening the back and operating the shutter while looking through it. If you see light coming in through the lens, then it would have exposed any film that was in position in the camera.

Assuming that it was a loading problem, next time you load the camera, after the frame counter gets to #1, flip out the rewind crank and wind it clockwise to take up the slack in the film. If loaded properly, the rewind crank will pull up tight in a couple of turns... if it's slipped off of the takeup spool, it will rewind it back into the cartridge and just keep turning. If you don't feel increasing resistance in the first turn or two, stop winding so that you don't lose the leader back into the can.

I have a Nikon FM2 that sat in a basement for almost a decade. I've cleaned it up and taken it into a local camera store for a new battery. I loaded a roll of film and none of the photos developed, the film roll was empty. Is there something I'm not doing or something I should check? Thanks!

Hi Ashley:

Does the knob come up when you pull on it? There is a locking collar below the knob that has to be rotated slightly counter-clockwise to unlock it so it will come up.

If the knob is coming up but the back does not open, it's probably stuck on the foam rubber light seals which can get sticky with age. Hold the knob up while pulling on the left-hand edge of the back door with your fingers, and it will probably come open. Don't apply excessive force when pulling up on the knob, it is possible to bend the linkage if you overdo it.... if a normal, firm pull doesn't open it, more force won't be the answer.

I recently received this camera but I'm unable to open the back where the film goes. Nothing happens when I pull the knob. Can someone tell me what I might be able to try to fix it?

Hi Nat:

It looks like you need an AF-I or AF-S series lens:

The D60 appears to be a step up from the D40, but rather down and sideways from the D50 in this respect.

I'm afraid this is exactly why I did not choose Nikon when I went for a digital SLR - I have too many Nikon lenses that I still want to use, and they have made so many changes and semi-compatible revisions to their mount that I've long since given up trying to remember what lens might fit with what camera for which functions.

It could be worse, at least it looks like your meter works: to get metering with my AI and pre-AI Nikkors, I have to use them on a Canon.

Hi Jean and Veronika:

If you've put in fresh batteries and your camera is not working properly, it may be in need of repair. Before you give up on it, double check that your new batteries are good and that they are installed the right way up.
