Came back to watch this stream for a second time after buying an F5 this morning! Can't wait to get it so I can put all this awesome information to use.

After watching your podcasts when I was in Accra during most of 2020 when the borders and airport were closed, I finally visited your shop for the first time last week and picked up the used F5 that I had ordered online from home in Spain. Great to see the shop and I will surely be back again. Looking forward to using the F5 over the Christmas break, very excited to be using film again!

Superb show Becky and Kon . Love how you know every little detail of this stunning body . With my F2 I used to hand crank a half used film back into the cassette leaving the leader out . To be able to reload it into the camera at a later date . Winding the camera on to the no. of exposures used . While I then used a new roll . B/W to Colour for example . Can the F5 hand rewind the film or when auto rewind can the film leader be prevented from entering the cassette ? I now see Tri-x is £12 per roll . Mental !!!

Got my F5 from Grays of Westminster and it is still in fabulous condition! A super camera to use for every subject. Pair it with an 80-200 F2.8 and you have a heck of a lot of weight! Love the camera.

Great show! Can't wait for the F3(P) video 🙂. I've got six Nikon film camera bodies compared to just my two digital Nikon bodies. The film cameras are such wonderful pieces of mechatronic engineering, which you can experience in a tactile way. I do love my D5 and D850, but my favourite film cameras are my F3P and F6, which I still shoot that yield such gorgeous photos when shot and developed properly!

I bought a F5 a few years ago to take a film course. At a meetup a pro photographer looked at it, and said that it looks like a modern camera. While it may be a little heavy, it's nothing like my Mamiya RB67.

I love the F5, I have 2 bodies. I've had them for 8 years. I carried them with me when action was the priority. I carried one with b&w and the other with color film. I started with D series lenses and then upgraded to the G series when I could afford them. Now, I use all my lenses on my D810 as well. I love using the F5.

rubbing alcohol and a toothbrush. the sticky rubber will start to dissolve. wipe with till dry and repeat. let it sit overnight and check sticky level in the morning. apply 1 squirt of armor-all to the toothbrush and coat the rubber. allow to dry. back to good except the mode guide on the n90 back goes away with the stickiness.

I recently gave up my F5 as part of a trade for a D4, but kept my F100, for one reason only, illuminated focus point! I could never understand why Nikon included this in their high end and mid-range cameras of the time, but not their Pro cameras. Maybe they felt it was too unprofessional a feature for a Pro body. Especially coming from a DSLR where it is standard on all, it seems weird to use an AF film camera that does not have this invaluable feature.

becky, I tried the wr-r11b on my D610 (as a trigger, NOT flash) and it works, so would think this would be the case, if it has the socket, should work, as a "dumb' release, that is.

I upgraded from my old Nikon F3HP in 1999 to an new F5 which I still have today in mint condition. Even though I shoot today with a D850 digital, on occasion I pull out the F5 to shoot film because I still love film. However, ever since the discontinuation of Kodachrome film in 2010 it's not too often that I use it. Kodachrome 25, long gone was my favorite film ever. I will never sell my F5. I think it's the best 35mm film camera ever made. I also had a Leica R8 for awhile but sold it because everything for that camera system was too much money and I saw no perceivable difference in image quality between that and the F5 with premier lenses. Great video! 👍🎞📷

Years ago, I bought a like-new-in-box Nikon F-5 from a trusted seller in Japan, then installed a new-in-box MF-28 data back to it, also from the same seller, and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE MY F5. Many have complained about the weight of the F5, but I am accustomed to heavy DSLR's, such as my Nikon D810 with Nikon MB-D12 vertical battery grip. I have shot film since high school, using my Pentax ME Super, which I also used as a state criminal investigator for forensic crime scene photos in the 1990's. I would have loved having my Nikon F5 during those years and, especially, afterward when I also did spec work as a news photographer. I was disappointed with digital cameras in the early years, to be honest, so I continued using film cameras until it became necessary to move to digital SLR's. I still find that my shots are more intentional when shooting film vs. digital and my enjoyment of shooting film probably exceeds shooting digital just a tiny bit, though I do enjoy the added creativity that I can get from working on my digital RAW images on the computer from my D810.

Becky, one downside to the F5 is that, although it is electronic and customisable in nature, it DID NOT have a great layout, ie: buttons, and labled at that!!- NEED a QR card, which came with it to 'de-code' the settings menu!- modern D3/4/5/6 are better at this, now!!
