How do I remove a broken lens mount ring from a lens?

Tearing the screws from the housing will have damaged the threads, and I doubt Nikon would be willing to re-tap them, especially on the D90's plastic body. … My advice would be to remove the lens ring if you can, cap the lens, wrap the body tightly in plastic wrap to keep anything from entering it and send the whole thing to Nikon for evaluation. …

Used camera's grip base has jutting rubber, is this serious?

That isn't damage, it's the rubber flap that covers the hole where the cord for an external power source enters the camera. You'll find an illustration of how it works on page 311 of the owner's manu …

How can I use a vintage M42 manual prime on an entry Nikon DSLR?

In manual mode I can not select the aperture but only shutter speed and exposure. That's correct. The M42 mount doesn't have any provisions for the lens to interact with the camera in either dir …

Nikon D600 has not enough power to drive AF 80-200/2.8

$200 for the lens plus $375 for Nikon to fix it still puts you ahead of the game if it's the push-pull version of the lens and way ahead if it's the two-ring version. …

Can i do any damage by formatting my memory card to clear it, on a regular basis?

From the card's perspective, there really isn't any difference between what the camera does while formatting and when it's writing pictures. It's all just data written to blocks on the device* and yo …
