risking another Hernia I was loaned a NIKON F5 by a fellow Camera Club member who has not used it for many years. I had to watch a couple of Videos then he found the Instruction book so i could find out what all the 'Buttons' did ! I set Single Frame Wind and Single Focus and have not used the famous 8 frames per second winder ! I do NOT LIKE the 'Custom Functions' as there is NOT ONE to 'Leave Out Film Leader after rewind' and all the others were not really useful . I have used it with the NIKON SB-27 flash and my Studio Bowens and my Mecablitz 45 CL-3 with 'NIKON' module for TTL flash and also with a manual focus Nikkor 105mm f2.5 lens . I have used 'Program, AV and S ' exposure modes. The 'Follow-Focus' was good on ambulances on call. I also tried the 'Matrix and Centre-Weighted' metering and TODAY used 'Spot Metering' so no photo to show yet as film not finished. I DO like the faster flash synch speed of 1/250th and it IS possible to set 1/300th second. I also used the 'Vertical Shutter Release' Lens Supplied is a AF Nikkor 28-105mm f3.5-4.5 D
