How to Fix a Broken Nikon F100 Door Latch
The Nikon F100 is a tough camera - except it's got a fragile plastic latch that breaks all too often. Since replacing the door isn't an option, thankfully there are now metal 'teeth' that can replace the broken plastic pieces of the old latch. This video walks you through everything you'll need for the repair and the repair itself.
Links and a written guide can be found at danfinnen.com/2024/06/25/how-to-fix-a-broken-nikon-f100-door-latch/
The latch replacement kit can be found on eBay at ebay.us/ipEDsA (the seller is plutoniusx if that link stops working)

How to Use the Fuji Instax SQ1 and SQ40 Camera

This complete guide covers all the basics, like how to use the c...
Who Needs a Grip? - Canon EOS 700 Camera Review
Просмотров 621Месяц назад
Early in the Canon EF system, the EOS 700 came on the scene as an entry level camera. It can take great pictures and uses the same glass and 35mm film as any other EF system camera, but be warned, the EOS 700 has some of the wildest ergonomics I've ever seen on a camera of this type. Making matters worse, it also sports almost zero controls, a plastic lens mount, and uses an odd battery. The EO...

Can You Get Polaroid Spectra Film? (Not Anymore. Sorry.)

Those looking for Polaroid Spectra might be scratching their heads on where the heck to get it these days. Unfortunately the film for these cameras is gone.

Unfortunately, when the Impossible Project became Polaroid Originals (then jus...
No Bad Cameras, Just Bad Prices - The Polaroid I-2 Review
Просмотров 3,4 тыс.5 месяцев назад
The Polaroid I-2 is Polaroid's new 'pro' I-Type camera, and it has big shoes to fill if it is going to live up to the legacy of the Impossible Project I-1 while unseating the vintage greats like the SLR 680 and Impulse AF. Unfortunately, the I-2 is let down by a wonky exposure system and a massive price tag. For now, the Polaroid Now , a camera that's literally a quarter of the price, is probab...

    Thanks for the nice review of my latch kit. I designed this back in 2022 when my F100 developed a broken latch. I also sell a similar kit for the Nikon N80/F80 which have the exact same faults. Speaking of the other kits on eBay, they are all Chinese knock offs. The sellers all seem to be exact duplications of each other and they mostly sell knockoff car parts. Who knows what material they use, who knows the quality and by the looks of the pictures they do not even take the time to file/sand away the machining marks from the cosmetic side.

    My counter showed S, then 10. When actually there was 6 left. Maybe because i tried capturing a couple ones when the battery was low? (It did not take any pictures then) please advise on getting the counter to its correct number 🙏🏼

    • @DanFinnen
      @DanFinnen 17 дней назад

      The counter will reset to S (which means 'dark slide') every time the back latch is opened (even if just a little bit), but that could also potentially happen if the batteries died or were removed. Unfortunately there's no way to manually fix the number, but it won't hurt anything, you'll be able to keep taking photos until the pack is empty.

    I also can’t get around the lack of manual focus. I think if you’re gonna give manual controls, which might be used for night photography for long exposures, the autofocus isn’t gonna cut it :/ someone else already mentioned in their video that it struggles to focus at night (understandably), so why not give the option to manually focus?

    • @DanFinnen
      @DanFinnen Месяц назад

      Yup, unfortunately that's this style of camera for you! You're looking through a window next to the lens not through the lens itself, so it'll be harder to line up subjects the closer they get to the camera.

    Generally speaking, cameras with AF marks will make real focusing movements. You can press the shutter after opening the back cover and observe the movement of the lens group from the rear. There are many simple cameras with fixed focus, but cameras with AF marks are definitely different.

      Unfortunately that door latch is a major weak point on all Nikon film SLRs, I have a F100 and some contemporary cheaper models with the same issue. You can swap the door pretty easily but if the latch in the body is broken it's pretty difficult to fix.
