Nikon F5 35mm Camera body Body with Motor Drive in original box with instruction manual.



Nikon's fastest and toughest 35mm SLR ever, with an infallible 1,005-segment color 3D matrix meter, and fully compatible with all the newest AF, AF-D, AF-I, AF-S, VR and G lenses. Also works with all AI (1977) and newer manual-focus lenses, and every lens back to 1959 with some mechanical modification. Set CFn 19, and manually-set shutter speeds go to 30 minutes.



Ideal for shooting news, sports and action on 35mm film. If you don't mind the weight over the F6, ideal for nature and landscape 35mm photography because of its superb color matrix meter.



The Nikon F5 is the biggest, heaviest, toughest and fastest 35mm SLR ever made by Nikon. Originally selling for thousands of dollars to full-time journalists in the late 1990s, today it sells for just a few hundred dollars, making it far more appealing for use in any sort of general photography.



The rain and dust resistant Nikon F5 is an 8-frames-per-second beast with an autofocus system that acquires and tracks targets fast enough to support that frame rate. That's why it takes eight AA cells, and sucks through them quickly. The F5 has a very powerful AF motor, and powerful AF-S motor drivers, so lenses focus faster on it than on lesser cameras.



The F5 is powerful and smooth. It fires with very little recoil, owing to its internally isolated transport and active mirror-balancer counterweighted design.
