Absolutely excellent presentation! I purchased my F5 in 1996 - the year of its' introduction. It has been in use since that year with no problems whatsoever - was cleaned / checked twice since then. I couldn't help but notice your use of the wonderful word "cool" throughout your video. I have no idea when I started using it but I am currently 72 years old and use it at least daily. Please carry on with that terrific word and let us never let it fade from use. All the best to you and yours, Terry
Love the F5! I own many other manufacturers (both film & digital) but the F5 is special. It does 99% of what I need with modern ergonomics. On top of that it’s beautiful IMO. I’ll never plan on selling my F5, M4 or XT2.
Nobody ever shows off the autofocus which is weird. I wanted to know how it sounds, the n8008 is very loud. Thanks for showing it, it sounds much quieter
Batteries really have come a long way - back in the day I would go through at least one set of AA’s per 5 rolls of film. Sometimes several sets a day in the F5
Always fancied one just have to wait a little while longer I have 2 digital cameras D3 and D700 and F4s and F90x film cameras on my wish list is F3 F5 and F100
I had the F5 and F100. The F100 does everything the F5 can with one very important addition; illuminated autofocus point. That's why I still have the F100 and sold the F5.
how much does it weigh with batteries? i'm planning to get this camera but im torn cause i think its too heavy. they say the f100 is a better option if u dont like the weight.
Let's us not jump off the topic. TheOkayPhotographer is talking about the Nikon F5 I am just saying if the you got the ATG's F5 battery adapter, then the camera is not heavy. Today, you have many beginners & fools parked battery grip because he or she doesn't know how the hold the camera in portrait shooting.
Go with the Nikon F4. With or without the motordrive. And the F5 is not that heavy. F6 and all digital cameras have non-removable finder. Same goes after the Canon New F-1.
@@larrymccready5636 Every tried or shoot ATG's Rolleiflex 3003 & ATG's Contax 645? These two have hold their prices very well, even now. While the Nikon F5, Pentax LX and Olympus OM-4 plumped in the used markets. For non-interchangeable finder, ATG's Canon EOS-1VHSs and ATG's Olympus OM-3 help up at high prices in used markets.
If anyone thinking on getting the Nikon F6 or F5, think again that I learnt from taking ATG Photo Seminars. Get the ATG Gold EOS-1VHSs or Canon EOS-1VHS. Because you can use Nikon lenses on EF mounts. ATG can do 10fps without using Canon special battery pack Canon do only up 10fps with Canon special battery pack Canon has ATG 2.4GHz TTL flash up to 2,000ws ATG TTL transceivers for Canon ATG 2.4GHz remote shutter trigger Nikon does up 8fps with battery grip All three have removal battery grips ATG & my suggestions on the 35mm format most reliable & fine cameras: 1. Pentax LX & MX 2. Olympus M-1 by Great Grandfather; OM-1, OM-3 by ATG & father 3. Canon F-1, Nikon F1 & F2 4. Canon EOS-1VHS, Nikon F6 & F5 (without battery you got deadweight) 5. Hasselblad 500C/M
If you think that was big & heavy, try using & holding the ATG's Canon New F-1r High Speed Motor Drive (mod from New-F-1 HSMD). Plus you got to add more than 20AA batteries. For the Nikon side, ATG assisted with Nikon F3HS. Good luck gettting one of these during those times or even today. They are not cheap.

Hi, I'm happy with my F5. It's so nice to use my Nikon-Glas on the F5 and my DSLR's. Thank's👍

great video brotha. I just got one for the third time and needed another refresher haha
What would be nice is if somone acquired every accessory that was developed for the f5 and did a video on that.
Nobody ever shows off the autofocus which is weird. I wanted to know how it sounds, the n8008 is very loud. Thanks for showing it, it sounds much quieter
great review! Thank you.
Batteries really have come a long way - back in the day I would go through at least one set of AA’s per 5 rolls of film. Sometimes several sets a day in the F5
Very good video review of your F5. There are some very nice photos in what you showed.....:)
Always fancied one just have to wait a little while longer I have 2 digital cameras D3 and D700 and F4s and F90x film cameras on my wish list is F3 F5 and F100
I have an F5 as well. How do the li-Ion batteries work for you? Are you using the fixed 1.5v out or 1.2v type?
I had the F5 and F100. The F100 does everything the F5 can with one very important addition; illuminated autofocus point. That's why I still have the F100 and sold the F5.
Nice review, thank You. Maybe not the best way to show your photos...;)

I would like to buy f5 too .. im just afraid abou the weight ..
F6 is lighter, F100 is cheaper ;)
Go with the Nikon F4. With or without the motordrive.
And the F5 is not that heavy.
F6 and all digital cameras have non-removable finder. Same goes after the Canon New F-1.
It is incredibly well balanced. A pleasure to shoot with.

@@guillermoperezsantos The F6 is superior in many ways, but it is at least 4x more money than the F5. The F4 would be a good compromise.
but it does support ttl?

ATG can do 10fps without using Canon special battery pack
Canon do only up 10fps with Canon special battery pack
Canon has ATG 2.4GHz TTL flash up to 2,000ws
ATG TTL transceivers for Canon
ATG 2.4GHz remote shutter trigger
Nikon does up 8fps with battery grip
All three have removal battery grips
ATG & my suggestions on the 35mm format most reliable & fine cameras:
1. Pentax LX & MX
2. Olympus M-1 by Great Grandfather; OM-1, OM-3 by ATG & father
3. Canon F-1, Nikon F1 & F2
4. Canon EOS-1VHS, Nikon F6 & F5 (without battery you got deadweight)
5. Hasselblad 500C/M
Not the best.Too big, Too heavy.
