Hi there,

Please could you tell me what the wire attached to the bayonet is for (1:14) ?

Today I had to replace my bayonet on my 18-105mm kit lens which cracked after a drop.

but this wire pulled off, although the lens appears to be working perfect.

Many many thanks!

@LocksmithNI It is the ground wire. It will technically still work without it being attached. Let us know if you have any questions.

Thank you!

Hi ProCameraRepair! I dropped my Nikon 70-300 ...yeah I know is a heavy lens but lucky looks like still works... I can zoom auto focus ..... is just a little issue when you shoot after an autofocus the something shakes inside the lens.. I dont remember seen that before. Is usable but that extra flicking is kind of annoying... any possible repair for this ? thank you in advance.

@TheKarimSupreme Hello, We do provide free estimates. Any declines estimate will only owe return shipping.

Is your lens VR? It sounds like maybe the VR mechanism is out of alignment.

We look forward to hearing from you soon! Thank you for the consideration.

Best regards,

Sebastian

If the lead cable was off by accident can I repair it ?? I see where is the conection but do I have to weld that part?? or what can I do .??

[ProCameraRepair]

@automataFrank You will have to further disassemble the lens and solder back the ground wire. Good luck with the procedure.

Great video. Have a problem with screw drive on Nikon 85mm 1.8D. The lens focuses manually, but has stoppped autofocusing. I can see the drive screw/gear has sunk into the lense about 4mm so the camera drive shaft/tooth isn't engaging. Don't know if its fixable myself. Any tips appreciated
