Hi guys....kinda urgent here.

Does anyone know where else can I service/repair my Nikon lens besides sending back to Nikon service centre? Nikon sc quoted me quite expensive and I'm trying to see if I can look for any other alternatives.

Thanks!

hey to you who may know this...

im experiencing some difficulties with the battery life indicator,where after i fully recharge the battery,the indicator display show a full bar.. however after took couple of photos,then it went to 1 bar..from what i read,a fully charge battery can go up to 500 pic..

the battery itself is the problem or wat?btw i got spare and the same thing happen as well..

p/s i been using the battery/spare for 2 years now...

good info, why didn't I aware of this topic earlier

just happen to walk pass this topic. i think i want to make it a regular visit. to learn more about how to take care of our precious cam

just a question guys, are weather sealed lenses and bodies also prone to fungus?

I know it's about the humidity but does the weather sealing even at least resist the fungus growth a bit?

weather sealing has nothing to do with "fungus prevention"

in fact, weather sealing is double edged sword.

say it protect and prevent moisture going in, but it also prevent it from going out.

if you change your lens, let say genting, moisture gets in somehow during changing.... now back home, u store your camera in a drybox, the weather sealing prevent the moisture inside from getting out... so it get stuck, wet, inside the camera/lens. so u tell me, weather sealing, good or bad deal?

I always clean my lenses before putting it in drybox

might be the charger that has problem though. it happened to me once, where I was trying to charge it and the light was on. Then the next time i charge, it didn't work. Tried again another day and it worked. so weird!! I think i need a new adapter soon

wow man... super comprehensive guide... thumbs up for the hard work!

some places are so humid, might damage lens?

where to buy all the cleaning for the lens?
1) Lens cloth (preferably micro-fiber type)
2) Lens cleaning solution/liquid
3) Lens brush - to remove dust at the edge of the lens
4) Air-blower - to remove dust particles on the lens

go to camera shop and say you want lens cleaning kit, inside got the whole thing except lens brush

whoa... this thread is good.. bookmarked it for future reference..

nice work TS, keep it up
