smart_cooleye Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Hi there, I took off the nikkor G-type lens from Nikon F65 without turning off the power, and I worried about this a lot. I am not sure whether because of paronoia or what, it seems the inner ring of lens always slips out when power is off, looks like not properly locked down. So is this a problem caused by taking off lens with power on? and if it is, then how to fix it? Thanks! Smar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mawz Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Did it all the time on my F65, no issues. As long as the lens locks on to the body (And it will be obvious when it locks). there's no way that,power can interfere with the mounting of the lens.

ilkka_nissila Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 I think the manual says you're not supposed to do this but I've often done it (like 10000 times ;-) and with no ill effects. But I suppose there is a small chance that some electronic problem is created by doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
todd peach seattle, washi Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 I've done it a bunch too (though I try not to with a DSLR). A handful of times, I've had some camera/flash 'lock up'. In those instances, I just turn everything off and start over, and usually all is well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
