BEST 35mm FILM CAMERA EVER MADE

I have been using an F5 for over 30 years. It's build quality is stunning. It is heavy due to the extreme strength and all metal chassis and body work and thick rubberised outer skin. As for the shutter and overall speed of focus, accuracy reading light and custom options , considering it's age it is still the Rolls Royce of cameras. This camera just cannot be faulted. That is all there is to say really. Read full review

A professionals Professional Camera, Best film camera ever produced in the World.

The Nikon F5 is the last of the most awesomely produced film camera's ever made, and it is quite possibly the best ever film camera in the world, no other manufacturer comes close, not Canon,Olympus,Pentax, No-one.
a real workhorse, a professionals professional tool made to withstand the daily rigours of extreme weathers and environmental abuse. Nikon had gone to the very extreme as far as precision engineering can go,and there were no more 'newer' add on's to increase any imaginable technical wizardry to it's existing arsenal to improve any already present in this last ever (apart from the NikonF6,which was a scaled down version) truly amazing Camera.will they ever re-introduce this as a special tribute limited edition at a later stage i wonder ?

Probably the best film camera of all time.

The Nikon F5, what's not to love about it, is big so fits in your hand perfectly, the controls are well though out and everything falls into place correctly, it's robust so with a little care it will go on and on and now it's cheap so no reason not to buy one.
Hands on with the F5, it gives you everything you need and nothing more, but it comes with a price and that's it's unforgiving, but with some practice and forethought the photos it can produce are truly stunning.
When I sold my first one, as soon as I handed it over I regretted it and had to find a replacement.

Amazing heavyweight beast

If you’re willing to shoot and process your own 35mm film this is an indestructible beast to shoot. You will develop biceps doing this. A very capable professional camera with weather sealing and a joy to use.

The results will depend on the glass you put on the front and your ability to tell a story through an image. You will be the weakest link, here the camera is awesome.

A poor craftsman blames his tools. This tool is the best of what analogue has to offer, tougher than a Leica! I know because I have some. This will take more abuse.

great camera

Ths is a very good pro quality film camera. It is quite heavy, but it's built like a tank so should last a long time.

Nikon F5

Due to a death in the family I have not developed the films as yet. Everything seems to be working ok.
