I'm seriously considering getting a Nikon F4 or F5 (in good condition, of course), as I'm getting into photography, always wanted my own film camera and believe in having a great camera.
In terms of controls and looks, the F4 seems unbeatable to me. It's all done by dials and such, and is easy to control by hand. It also takes virtually every lens ever made by Nikkor. The F5 is more cumbersome as I understand it, and it doesn't look so sleek. But, the autofocus is legendary, and it's a newer camera. It shoots action very well, whereas the F4 can struggle.
Any thoughts on these cameras?
