Nikon F5 35mm SLR film camera BODY ONLY
Description
The F5 is one of the finest film cameras ever made, and that statement is difficult to argue with. Built for professional use and released in 1996, it was Nikon's answer to everything a working photographer could ask of a camera: a 1005-pixel RGB 3D matrix metering system that reads colour as well as light, 5-zone phase detection autofocus that is still impressively quick and accurate by any standard, a titanium shutter that runs to 1/8000s, and a built-in motor drive capable of 8 frames per second. The 100 percent viewfinder coverage means what you see is exactly what you get on film. Being body only, it pairs with any Nikon F-mount lens, and the compatibility is broad, from manual AI lenses through to AF-D and AF-S. The F5 is a camera that inspires confidence the moment you pick it up, and it produces results to match.
