many of you here know that I shoot both digital and analogue (film - both 35 mm and medium format). And today I had the opportunity to add to my collection a Nikon I have been wanting for some time - an F5.
Although battle scarred (cosmetically only - it belonged to a working photojournalist here in Southern Ontario, was used as a primary camera when new and then a back up when digital took over) it functions super and will allow me to add all of my full frame auto-focus G lenses into shooting B&W (which I will develop and scan the negatives) and I will most likely pump some rolls of colour through as well ( and then scan the prints).
Now, if I could only find the time to get out and shoot, just spent another Saturday teaching Health and Safety courses for our union and will spend most of tomorrow on house renovations. Wish me luck.
