I just bought a used MD4 and the charge LED/test power lights won't light up! The batteries are brand new, and the MD4 motor will andvance and take photos, however one of the terminal inside the battery pack appears to be dirty. Does anybody know how I can take apart the MD4 so I can clean the terminal and/or how I can troubleshoot to see if the LEDS don't work or just aren't getting enough power to indicate??2.

To Dave: ISO dial is locked shut on 400? If the exposure compensation dial is useable, you can counter the ISO difference by selecting +1 if you use ISO 200 film, +2 for ISO 100. By that, you can use the 'A' (automatic exposure) instead of trying to adjust using manual all the time. Try pushing the little silver coloured button next to it and see if can rotate. If it does, then it should be fine Roz4. From : Dave (daveg@smithandrowe.com.au)

Firstly, What an incredible website. I wish commercial companies had sites this thorough and helpful. Anyway, I have been handed down a very used Nikon F3HP I have been advised that the ISO dial is locked shut on 400 and would be very expensive to fix. Can I fiddle myself, or should I learn how to adapt a 200 film to the 400 settings? Also, I think the batteries are dead, as I cannot see anything in the viewfinder, when the button is depressed. Would the batteries also explain why I cannot wind the film then take a photo normally - by that I mean you press the button it snaps a shot, then allows you to wind thye next shot on? It allows me to release the shot when I pull a little lever down on my right next to the lens. any comments would be very helpful. Dave5. From : Paul Neuthaler (pauln@cloud9.net)

Just bought LN- F3 HP from KEH with 50mm 1:1.4 and 105mm 1:2.5 AIS lenses similarly graded LN-. Can't get over clarity & brightness of viewfinder (I've attached the rubber eyecup) & also just bought a LN- MD4. After years with Leica & Hasselblad, I'm thrilled to get away from overpriced, hyped equipment. I hope I can outlive the Nikon stuff! Any tips, etc. on using my new outfit, as well as print film suggestions -- color & B&W -- will be highly appreciated.6. From : Walt McKinney (Waltavion@AOL.com)

The F3 series camera sychronizes at 1/80 of a second and this speed is preset. You have no choice. Walt7. From : John Phillips (lonewolf@rivernet.com.au)

Mike, The AS-4 will work with the F3AF camera. Since the SB-E is not a particularly powerful unit, I would personally choose a different flash. The F3 series cameras have a rather unique flash mount, which is not very sturdy, in my opinion. A flash unit with any significant weight to it will put an undue stress on the flash mount. I have a Sunpak 555, which is a handle-mounted unit and will work with the F3 series camera's Through The Lens (TTL) flash metering capability. The handle mount supports the weight of the flash unit off the camera and the only thing connected to the camera's flash mount is the dedicated module for the F3 series, the NE-3D. A cord, the EXT-11, connects the flash unit to the module. I bought the whole set-up used from KEH Camera Brokers (www.KEH.com) for less than $200. It has a guide number of 150, compared to the SB-E's 56. and has a control that adjusts the light output in steps from 1/64th power to full power. That lets you adjust the light to the application.The cord also allows you to move the flash unit away from the camera for different lighting angles. It also has bounce flash capability, which the SB-E doesn't have. This set-up was my preference and you may prefer the flash unit attached directly to the camera. The SB-E is a good unit, and with the AS-4 will work with the F3AF camera. Walt9. From : Mike (mscopson@ev1.net)

Walt, thanks for the fast response! Is the AS-4 compatible with the AF? Also in your opinion is the flash a good one to use? Where can I purchase an AS-4? Walt thanks again, I just have a Nikon F3 AF, given as a gift so I'm trying to get better educated on it. Mike10.

Mike, The Nikon SB-E flash unit was introduced in 1980 and was designed to be used with the EM camera and lens system. It has a guide number of 56 with ISO 100 film. To use it on the F3 series, you will need the AS-4 adapter. WaltMaintainers for Nikon F3 Series SLR cameras Message Board:
