Now you have the vinyl in place you could acid etch the Nikon out/in. Eithe just put acid into the Nikon word or fill it with wax and then acid etch the surrounding space after removing the vinyl. For me I would just etch the Nikon word area.

What finish would the acid create and what acid to use? I do remember many years ago putting an aluminium motorcycle exhaust in caustic soda and it turned black! The owner wasn't best pleased... it took me ages to polish it back to silver colour.

Hydrochloric (HCl) but Sulphuric (H2SO4) battery acid would probably also work. Finish would be matt possibly with some pitting. You would need to experiment with acid strength as lower concentration gives you better control and takes longer.

Maybe I`ll work up the courage...but I dunno.. What a Fantastic job You did with that 20 f2.8 ...

Thank you, I really enjoyed fixing up the 20mm. I was able to put my own stamp on it. As for your lens, it sounds like it's been dropped, possibly the camera took the impact but perhaps survived, maybe a D3? The lens was less fortunate. I would still contact ACS and ask David his view, they do (did) have lenses which they cannibalise so may be able to do a repair without costing too much, it may only be a sheared screw? In which case it could be a relatively simple repair.

Yes, it could very well be.... As per the D2xS ,...I was wondering,since there`s No software upgrade for it, could it be that the upgrade for the X is perhaps Usable as a re-install for the S ??.. Looking at the difference between the X ( firmware )upgrade and the S firmware would be the better LCD and Screen/Viewfinder which is Hardware , I have been trying to find info about this but to No avail... Perhaps it is time to get in touch with ACS

The D2x issue could be nothing more than a broken spring or jammed trip lever in the mirror actuation mechanism but it's way too delicate in there to meddle unless you know exactly what you are doing. I have adjusted AF with screws, D200 I think but experience is called for with your problem, it would be very easy to make it unrepairable.

I`M Afraid that You`re Correct.... Funny thing about the 14-24....it seems to be at its " Sharpest " there where it Jams at 16mm focal length setting...curious that.. Anyone notice that with a Zoom...Any Zoom..??..

Does it rattle when the tight point is reached? If not that might confirm my theory. I might be inclined to leave it in the tight point, especially if you intend to post it... Some lenses are incredibly frail in their construction, using all sorts of ways to squeeze the complex mechanism into a tiny space. The 25-50 I had was very sharp but suffered a drop while on my D1, the D1 was fine of course! I opened up the lens and the innards slid on three small rods which were held in position with sticky tape. The impact from being dropped, had torn two of the rods from their flimsy supports. That exhibited the same 'slack' and 'tight' feel when zooming and focusing. I liked that lens, it was small and very sharp, with good contrast but although it did improve it's behaviour, I got rid during one of my equipment culls.
