Wow, I wish my son is in your highschool.

I know this is Nikon forum, but how about couple of Canon D30 (NOT 30D), or Fujifilm S1 bodies, 24mm/2.8, 50mm/1.8, 100mm macro, 70-300mm zoom lenses, and save the money for some field trips...

my little over one year old N75's battery door is broken in pieces,

and I have no idea how. The build-quality of this small part is

terrible, and this is my first time ever complaint about the quality

of any Nikon product. I don't know if it is worth to fix it.

Anybody out there ever had the same problem, and how did you fix

that other than using a piece of tape? B&H has this MB-18, will

that fix this problem? Thanks.

That will be an excellent purchase. The sharpness of this 75-150mm f3.5 E series is one of Nikon's well kept secrets, I don't know why Nikon stop making them. It also has a nick name, called "the fashion lens". I have one, and I love it. You can get a decent one for under $100 on ebay today. But you might want to look at the other good Nikkor lenses, like 35mm f2, 85mm f1.8, 105mm f2.5, 180mm f2.8 ED, or go to the high end: 28-70mm f2.8 AF, 80-200mm f2.8 AF...

"Complete Collection", my understanding is, when you looking into your photo gear bag, you find everything you need, nothing you don't, that, I call it COMPLETE.

If you are in any of the program mode, and your lens is not set to the smallest sperture number, at your case will be f22, you will see FEE in LCD screen, other than that, I think you should be fine.

Same here. Sounds like the camera just doesn't know what to do next, especially when you change the focus method, and refocus. Mine is a N8008s, I use manual focus mainly, so the problem doesn't bother me. I had a N5005 once, it was slow, but didn't have that problem. Don't know how to explain this, maybe, just because their auto focus system are too old.

100% agree with Mike. No matter how much you pay for your lens, as long as it takes good pictures, then it's a good lens. You won't become a pro just because you use a thousand dollars lens.

Your FG needs clean and calibration. This is a very common problem with FG. Bring your camera to a repair shop, the service will cost you around $120. Numbers of FG have been put on E-bay with locked mirror, and sold as parts, because most of the owners don't want to pay that amount of money to fix a camera, which might not even worth that.
