Borrowed my Brother's Nikon F5 and I'm so Screwed.
I borrowed Alex's F5 again and I'm so screwed. Ok, lets back up a bit, back at the end of August in my late Summer dog and house sitting stint in the Beaches I borrowed Alex's F5 to run some slide film. I was in over my head with the camera and wasted a third of a roll of Velvia 50. Yeah put the camera back where I found it and moved on. I love my F100, F90x's and F4. Fast forward to the Christmas break, I'm back in the Beach, asked Alex if I could borrow his F5 again, I ran a roll of Japan Camera Hunter Streetpan 400 and Lomography 400 colour film. I'm screwed, so screwed because I want one now. What's the difference between then and now? I took the time to get the know the camera, and of course peek at the owner's manual I pulled up on my iPad. The F5 became a much more comfortable camera to shoot with, knowing what all the controls did I pushed the camera a bit. If shooting with a Nikon F or F2 is like driving a vintage Porsche 911, the F5 is a Mac...
