    hood for nikkor af-d 80-200.

    No. :nono: The HB bayonet mounts are unique to each hood/lens and only the HB-7 will fit properly on the AF-D 80~200/2.8.

    Nikon lens warranty

    Not only Canada - you will find the same proviso on any Nikon warranty. My point is not to assign any monetary value to the unused portion of a warranty on a second hand Nikon product. Unless you have both the receipt (in your name or with no name) and the unfilled warranty cards it is...

    Nikon lens warranty

    Doesn't really matter what the term of the warranty is, because it is NOT transferrable to a second owner. Nikon warranties are only valid for the ORIGINAL owner. When you buy a used lens, you get ZERO manufacturers warranty coverage. Doesn't matter if there is six months or four years left on...

    Metal or plastic mount?

    Find somewhere else to get your advice. The quality of optical glass in a camera lens has absolutely NOTHING to do with the lens mount material. These jokers are lying to you. :nono:

    Metal or plastic mount?

    This statement (pure bull***t btw) is usually made by someone who has a vested interest in selling you Sigma/Tamron lenses.

    Any AI-S 135mm f/2.8 users in the house?

    Yes it will.

    D2X and DX lenses, compatible?

    The D2X is *NOT* "full frame". It is DX format (with a 1.5X "crop" compared to the 24x36 format), as are all other Nikon D cameras. DX lenses are compatible with *ALL* Nikon DSLR's.

    AFS VR Nikkor 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G IF-ED and AFS VR Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED

    Neither. It does NOT exist. It's merely a photoshopped "fantasy" back, specifically a MF-28 databack reworked in PS. I would be suspicious about the lenses as well.

    CPU lenses

    ANY lens with an on board ROM chip (CPU), which includes ALL AF, AF-D, AF-I, AF-S, AF-G AND the few AI-P lenses (AI manual focus lens with a chip, such as the 45/2.8P or 500/4P). If the lens has electrical contacts at the mount, it is a CPU lens.

    Compatibility of Old lens for D50?

    ANY lens from the Nikkomat (Nikkormat) era is NOT going to be a good match for the D50. These are almost certain to be what is commonly known as "non-AI" lenses, and according to page 107 of the English D50 manual are listed as INCOMPATIBLE accessories (meaning they probably should NOT be...

    F4S battery flat very fast, is it a problem?

    That does NOT sound good. If you are using good AA alkalines, and they drain after only two rolls, then there has got to be a dead short somewhere in the electronics. I think this is much more serious than a simple battery pack contact problem. Do they drain if you just leave the camera on...

    Different Between Nikon 52mm NC & L37C Filter & Price?

    L39 absorbs more UV (wavelengths shorter than 390 nanometers, hence L39) and is intended for high altitude photograpy (mountain, aerial photography) or for a more prominent effect than the L37c in B&W photography. It is coated, but does not have Nikon Integrated Coatings (NIC). L37c absorbs...

    Whats the problem?

    Definitely looks like a light leak (at the top seal on the back door). Easy fix.
