Nikon F5

Pros: Reliability, electronics, compatibility with AF-S G lenses

Cons: Lack of dials upright

Opinion: I was looking for an analog camera with which to take advantage of a good digital kit, in the F5 I found what I was looking for. The time distance between this technical gem and modern equipment has been felt only in terms of non-dialogue with wireless flashes (due to changing protocols) and inability to mount E-type optics: a pity since I could not fully exploit some Sigma Art optics (the diaphragm is still at the maximum opening). These last points do not represent real defects, but are simply the result of a technological advance that the manufacturer has relied on. The drag of the film is monstrous, it does not miss a beat! The electronics are non-invasive and leave room for manoeuvre for those who still want to experiment with film. You can find products at very affordable prices and I recommend it to those who want to equip themselves with a professional tool even to shoot a few dozen reels a year.
