Nikon F5
The Nikon F5 is a professional autofocusing 35mm SLR camera. Released in 1996 and when you look at it fast, it can easily be mistaken for a modern Nikon DSLR. The F5 was developed to be good at 1 main thing: speed! Nikon managed to make it shoot at a whopping 8 FPS making you finish a roll in matter of seconds. The perfect camera for action or sport photography but nowadays very sought after by portrait photographers as well, due its very ergonomical grip and max 1/8000th shutter for shooting wide open in bright conditions.
Main specs of the Nikon F5:
One of the main specs of the F5 is it automated film advance which can shoot on 8 FPS. Amazing when you think about the fact that the film has to be advanced, stopped, mirror raised, shutter opened and closed, miror downed again, and that 8 times each second. The shutter can reach 1/8000th speeds for freezing motion or shooting fast lenses wide open in sunny conditions. The shutter can detect irregularities and self adjust itself. A new self leveling mirror system is installed to help with camera shake. The other key spec of the F5 is its amazing light meter. This light meter is so perfectly accurate in even the most hard lighting conditions or scenes with a huge dynamic range. The F5 works with all AF-S / G lenses and also supports VR lenses from now on. The camera needs 8 AA batteries to operate, these are located in its ergonomical vertical grip which also has shutter release and setting buttons. All the main settings can be seen on the large top LCD screen.
Nikon F5 variants:
A special 50 year edition of the Nikon F5 was released in 1998. This version features some silver body panels, a special camera strap and the old Nikon logo on top, only 3000 copies were ever sold.
Kodak F5 digital cameras
In collaboration with Kodak a series of digital Nikon F5 cameras were produced. These cameras were introduced in the very early stages of the digital era, only had a few megapixels and cost a fortune, which the average professional could not afford.
Pros of the Nikon F5:
- Self balancing shutter with max 1/8000th speed
- Very ergonomical due its built on vertical grip
- Super fast Autofocus and framerate
Cons of the Nikon F5:
- The camera is quite heavy due its 8x AA batteries
- Does not work well with older generation AI / N-AI lenses
- The vertical grip can not be taken off
