You got me!
Once I went digital, I've never really looked back except to marvel at how expensive film was, how long it took to get photos developed, how I couldn't practically tweak my pictures, how I used to have to ask myself "is this shot really worth wasting a frame",how many boxes I'd filled with photos that realistically I'd never look at again....

The F5 is the definitive professional photographers camera. The 35mm SLR never got any better.
For those of us who still like to "paint with light," there is nothing like the nuances you can get with film, IMHO. Just an old dog i guess, but I loved Kodachrome, and spent many happy hours in a dark room developing and printing black and white film.

Here's an F-5 available used for around $9,000,000
In it's day, that was The Camera. The fun part of film photography today is finding film.
We are the music makers,
And we are the dreamers of dreams
I was into photography back in the 90's . . . I'm not sure which was worse, my pictures or my mandolin playing.
Nice find though - ENJOY!
Well, here's an F5 that could cost you nothing, or everything, or somewhere in between.

You would have gotten much more camera for your money with the pro level A5
When I started my photographic career I had a Nikkormat It was heavy as a tank, but it took great images. When I retired I was using a D3.You made a good choice. Now, buy some good quality Nikon lens. Remember you create the image, not the camera.
I worked in picture framing for a few decades, and saw many, many photographs. Digital has many advantages, but the beauty of an image shot on film and developed and printed in a darkroom is in a class by itself. Silver gelatin, platinum palladium, or Cibachrome/Ilfachrome, there's a richness to those prints that is just gorgeous. Enjoy your new toy.
