[QUOTE="coolbus18, post: 477255, member: 35606"] So some thoughts on the F5. Firstly it's easy to use specially if you've used a Nikon dslr before.A lot more electronics. Auto focusing par excellance!Speed? yowzers--even the rewind. I don't think it's heavy and I'm multi=arthritic going on 68 yo and have had 8 major back surgeries and an artificial hip. I put a roll of b&w and Fuji Provia through it Those D lenses, well it loves them. Manual lenses, loves them. Tough. Built like a tank. I like the sound that tracking focus makes, like muffled popping corn.rewinds in less than a blink. So if you're thinkin' about one, get it. It has a marvelous effect(shooting film) on my being.Better than digital? Well they're two different ways of imaging. Which do I prefer visually? Film. Each is a different tool. One has noise, the other graininess . I like graininess, I don't necessarily like noise. I dig vintage( it was modern when I was a kid) and I dig tech. Each has it's place in the Panvisulatheon of light gathering(btw auto correct left that word alone)Do they both bring us what we want? Yes. So as Smart phones and Iphoneography grow will people ask the same question as dslr's fade into the past. But what film did is to bring me back to taking time, being selective, really concentrating on the basics again. Practice makes better. Now it's time to fly. Thank you all for your likes and input.
