Nikon F100 Diopter Problem
Maybe, I have the real parts diagram on a PDF. The top comes off as one piece basically. You can contact me via hotmail if you would like the file (4.3mb) My hotmail handle is the same as my Fixya one.

How do i put a film on a kodak star 435 35mm? the tab to roll the film doesnt seem to work. I dont know if I am doing it wrong or if my camera is broken.
To the best of my knowledge all 35mm cameras load identically, apart from a few automatic models that claimed to be self loading.
A new film cassette has a tongue of film protruding. Once the cassette has been loaded into the recess on the left and the rewind crank pushed down and engaged with the film spool, a couple of inches of film is pulled from the cassette and the tongue poked through the slot in the takeup spool - it might be necessary to use the film advance until the slot is visible.
With about a half-inch of film pushed through the slot, slowly advance the film until the slackness is gone while fully engaging the sprocket holes at the edges of the film on the teeth of the sprockets. Advance the film a little more to check it is properly engaged and once you are satisfied close the camera back firmly making certain the catch is engaged and it won't spring open again.
Once closed, advance the film until it stops which signals the shutter is set and is ready to take a photograph, however the first and perhaps the second frame has been contaminated with light and so press the shutter release, advance and press again and the third advance is where the photographs begin. If there is a frame counter it is best to be guided by this.
Cameras that have a manual advance usually have a manual return crank that will be seen to rotate as the film is advanced. When all the frames have been used the film will be felt to come to the end. At this point the clutch button must be pressed to disengage the wind-on mechanism and the film wound back into the cassette using the crank on the left.

Latch for the Film door broke
This is so tedious a job that I would not try it myself unless I was adept in doing this right.Unless the camera costs a lot to start with, I would just get another SLR. I believe the cost in repairing it depending on model and the size, will be about $200. I say this because from experience, I had a $250 camera 20 years ago and the latch broke on mine and he said it would not be worth it to fix it. Unfortunately, it was way out of warranty.
Where can i get a pandigital sd card
Compatible memory cards include Secure DigitalTM, MultiMedia CardTM, xD Card, Memory StickTM, MemoryStick ProTM, and Memory Stick Pro DuoTM(required adapter).
These can be purchased from any electrical shop selling cameras, video recorders or memory cards.

Broken leg lock on vanguard VT-528
That's more than I got from Vanguard, they just said they didn't have the part and offered a small discount on a new one, oh yeah so when it breaks again I get the same answer, no way Vanguard
My handle broke on my Solidex Model VT-90HQ tripod
As far as I know Solidex is out of business and since most of there parts are not standard to the other major manufacturers you sould either buy a new tripod or search for the same (exact same) model on ebay or craigs list to find the same model and use it for parts.
