NIKON F5 is the camera that all modern pro and semi-pro Nikons are descended from, whether they're film or digital. The button-and-dial control layout started here, and it's amazingly seamless to switch between the F5 and a digital body – maybe too easy.
The F5 is fast. Really, really fast. Not only is the shutter blackout incredibly brief, the film advance is so quick that its sound is subsumed within the not-subtle shutter and mirror noise. Working with the F5 barely feels like using film at all, which is a little scary with a camera that can rip through an entire roll in under five seconds.
Holding the F5 is like looking at a photo from the D800: unreasonably awesome.
The F5 is also the last Nikon film camera to offer Live View: it has a removable prism, much like many of its Medium Format friends.
The F5 has accurate and sensitive focus, as good as many current top digital models.
The F5 is powered by eight AA batteries. Using it with smaller AF-D lenses isn't as dramatic but is equally effective. Contemporary AF-S and VR lenses are fully compatible with the F5 as well. As a matter of fact, practically ALL Nikon lenses are compatible with F5
The F5 is the biggest and the best film camera that Nikon has ever made. The F5 is unquestionably a Pro camera, and these days it still very desirable by thousands of professionals around the world.
NIKON F6, which is almost the same F5, but with an LCD back screen, is still a hot sale at some stores.
The body only (without battery grip and lens!) cost $2,449 right now at B&H Store

Due to age the camera has some small cosmetic imperfections, but optically and mechanically it is in perfect shape!
This is not some old attic discovery, the camera is in perfect working shape.
The owner of this camera was using it in professional photo shooting just two weeks ago.
