I thought Nikon was using JIS. BTW, did you "Google" for metric screws (e.g.
http://www.microfasteners.com/catalog/products/MET.cfm)?
You can get a program that helps you convert from any standard system to any
other one (e.g. http://www.kisssoft.ch/english/manual/chap7.html)
Standards exist to screw anyone without access to a huge repository of
parts.
