Wobbly cameras on quality tripods -- stripped screw mountings?

Sounds as if the tripod socket in the base of the camera is too shallow for the thread on the QR plate. You can undo the split ring that holds the screw in the plate, and fit a washer beneath it to shorten the protruding screw. What I do is keep a plate permanently attached to each of my cameras and camcorders, so that I do not have to continually remove it to put another camera on.

My Nikon N60 wont load film. I load the film but it doesnt wind the film, but when i take a picture it rewinds it. I dont know what im doing wrong

Hi. Pay careful attention to the way the end of the film fits through the take-up reel. Open the back (empty) and give the wind knob a few twists. That will tell you which way it is turning. Put the end of your film through the slot in the take-up reel so itd winds onto itself as it advances. There's usually enough extra unexposed wound onto the factory reel that it won't cost you and pix at the end of it. Pull enough out of the cassette to be sure your winding-load position is really going to hold when you advance. Good luck.

Cannot focus when dark

Unfortunately, most auto-focus systems require some light to focus with. My cameras have a "focus assist" light that throws a grid of lines out so it can focus. My wife typically covers this light with her hands, and so can't get it to focus in the dark. Check for that.

No shutter action

Set the lens f/stop to the largest number such as f/22 (smallest diameter). Many cameras with automatic exposure must have the f/stop set to the largest number on the lens, or turn off auto focus do manual focus.

Why is film clear after developing? Using bulk load Tmaxx 400

Sounds like the camera isn't working. It would appear the shutter doesn't function because you have no images at all. I would open up the camera and check this. (Empty of film of course).

Replace battery ML-L3

On the back, on the straight side you see a 1 and a 2. With one finger move the lip where the arrow points to, and with the nail of your thumb in the long slit, move the battery holder out. That is all. 25433158-p0spswdtl3eo34fni3v4kibo-1-0.png

Can I get user manual for Nikon MB-40 multi-power battery pack for F6 body?

I think the extent of the instructions is on the Nikon USA web site. Here it is "The Nikon MB-40 Multi-Power Battery Pack accommodates eight AA (alkaline, lithium, or Ni-MH) batteries, or the Nikon EN-EL4 Rechargeable Li-ion Battery. The MS-40 Battery Holder comes with the MB-40. With the MB-40 attached, film can be advanced as fast as 8 fps. When using the EN-EL4 battery, the Battery-Chamber Cover BL-3 must be used. The MB-40 is also a vertical grip, and features a vertical grip shutter release, an AF start button, and Multi-selector and Command Dials for more comfortable and responsive shooting."

I need to attach a small spring to a flat plate. It's a rather difficult angle and the space is very narrow, any tips on attaching it? Should I straighten the hook, stick the wire through, and then cu

You can just insert a small styrofoam in back of the film plate, if you can't install the spring latch hook.

What type of film does a n60 slr camera use

The N60 uses standard 35mm film (also known as 135). 35mm film usually comes in 12, 24, or 36 exposure rolls, any of which will work. 35mm film is available in black-and-white, color transparency (color slides), and color negative (color prints). It's also available in infrared, both color and black-and-white, but the N60 will not work with infrared film. 35mm film is available online and at any camera shop. Many department stores, drugstores, and even supermarkets also carry film, though not as wide a selection as a decent camera shop.
