![]() It was not until a few years later that I bought my first Leica, a Leica M9. I used digital Nikon cameras before I discovered Leica cameras and owned first a crop sensor Nikon D90, then a full frame Nikon D700 camera and finally a Nikon D800 that I bought on pre-release. Nikon before Leica (My history with Nikon) I think the Nikon F5 could survive a drop down a flight of stairs and still work (my Nikon F4 survived this and it is less rugged than the F5). I would say a Leica is more of a precision tool, which is built to last but needs more care. The Nikon F5 is very different to a Leica but still built well build. The Nikon F5 oozes quality and is a fine-looking camera I think, even coming from the Leica camp (where people think we can only appreciate other Leica cameras)(Not me). When I look at the Nikon F5 it always reminds me of a Nikon D4 or something of a similar pro level today. The Nikon F5 was one of the last professional spec Nikon film bodies (the last was the Nikon F6 I believe) before they switched to digital. The Nikon F5 SLR (“Single lens reflex”) camera was released in 1996 and replaced my Nikon F4 that was first released 8 years earlier. Instead I will focus on a few key facts, some of my thoughts so far and finish off with a few of my Nikon F5 Flickr photos to show what the Nikon F5 can do. (Check Ken Rockwell’s website if you want camera specifications). ![]() I won’t write a detailed Nikon F5 review here as I will only be duplicting the work of others before me. I bought the Nikon F5 35mm film camera last (2017) year but I didn’t get a chance to write about it. Thanks for your MrLeica purchase!
