I’ve shot with a number of Nikon F5’s over the years and I know firsthand the pros and cons of this incredible SLR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Nikon F5 is widely known as one of the best SLR’s ever made. At a third of the price of the Nikon F6, the Nikon F5 is the best value for money and it was the most popular among professionals of its time. With shutter speeds of 1\/8000 to 30 seconds and 3-D Colour Matrix metering, this was incredibly advanced for its time. One of the only downsides to this camera is its tremendous weight, at around 1.2kg, this would be hard to shoot with for extended periods of time for most people.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
