Well, all the Kodachrome you might as well throw in the trash, as it is no longer possible to find a lab to develop it. Otherwise, if it was stored in a freezer or fridge, it  might still make some ...

Yes, it can be a problem with this lens, and other lenses of this vintage. The Zippo lighter fluid thing might be worth a try, but you should know that the 55mm f/2.8 AIS has two sets of helicoids ...

Sure- point taken. But it's a bit better than 300 dpi.

If you're not interested in your own developing, then yes, Overrank's suggestion of Ilford XP2 super is a good place to start. Finding good lab for processing for B&W film is much more difficult ...

The F100 Wikipedia page has a nice timeline, that shows the lineages of film cameras from the F up to the F6: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikon_F100

As Overrank mentioned above, the F100 is years newer, so compatibility with modern lenses is better. The N90s/F90x can only to P or S with G lenses, whereas F100 can do PASM, as well as support VR ...

< caution: Nikon macro trivia > That would do the job, but keep in mind that a modern DSLR body won't mount on a PB-6 directly, because the grip gets in the way of the PB-6 base.  A PK-12 tube ...

Thanks, Don- I'll start looking for a 63mm. -momotus

The three-pack from Amazon (three body and three lens caps) goes for $7.99 in the US. They are a very close clone of the factory Nikon caps. https://www.amazon.com/Cover-JJC-Nikon-Mount-D3400/dp/B0 ...

Sourov- You've gotten a lot of thoughtful responses so far. You didn't say B&W or color. There's a fair amount of difference between the two. For color, I think the average amateur can go a long ...

A simple tweak of the black point in PS Levels perks them up, IMHO:

KEH, a very respectable seller of used equipment in the USA, has an "ex" one listed at $817.53USD, and a "BGN" for $608.44. KEH is pretty conservative with their grading system, so an "EX" from ...

Yes. Although you can't see it in the picture, the lens shown has been "AI'd"-- that is, it is an older Nikkor-S 50mm f/1.4 lens with a replaced aperture ring with the correct ridges as shown in ...

Others have asked why, so I'll leave that for now... Yes, using 8v when the design calls for 6v can be a problem in many ways. I don't have a schematic for an EOS 650 in front of me, but: If the ...

Yes, you can remove it if it bugs you. They go for $15.00 US or so on ebay.

The kit (or assembled) includes only the electronics, the display, the sensors, and the keypad.  The enclosure, power supply, and light source are not included. So, yes, it looks good, but a little ...

Cool camera! I have never looked at this model in particular, but it is very likely that your diagnosis is correct. The foam that was once in that location has deteriorated and fallen away. This is ...

Aside from the 'sticky rubber' problem that many F100s have, the Achilles' Heel of the F100 is the rear door latch. The rear door has molded plastic catches that break off. Once broken, the door ...

If B&W developing at home is not an option, another film to have a look at is Ilford XP2. This is a chromogenic film-- black and white, but processed using regular C41 (color) processing, so much ...

I dunno- they look about like I would expect. A few comments: 1) Unless you control the entire chain from camera to viewer's eyeballs, you can't guarantee that your video will be viewed at the ...
