Nikon F5

[james_angersola]

<p>Does anyone have an idea where I can download the instruction manuel for the Nikon F5. I purchased a used F5 and could really use some instructions.</p>

<p> Thank You in advance for all your help.</p>

<p>The following can easily be found with a google search:<br>

http://www.nikonf5.org/nikon-f5-manual.html<br /> or http://www.scribd.com/doc/14852129/Nikon-F5-User-Manual<br /> Or get Thom Hogan's book: http://bythom.com/f5guide.htm</p>

<p>More generally, <a href="http://www.butkus.org/chinon/">Mike Butkus's website</a> is a great source of manuals for a wide range of cameras.</p>

<p>Congrats on the new F5. It's my favorite 35mm camera!</p>

<p>Of course there's always ebay, if you'd like an original manual.<br>

Have fun! Now--what film do you plan to put inside that wonderful new camera?</p>

<p >Could someone please tell me why so many of my posts to photo.net fail? I believe, I've even paid for a subscription, although w/ my memory, I may not have. This is going to be my 2nd attempt to post to this thread. I have no idea if it will actually post. Original follows:<br>

I just checked @ KEH & didn't see any F5 instructions, but I have seen them there in the past for ~$10 to $20.</p>

<p >Also "PhotoBerts CheatSheat"s include the F5. Or @ least they did.</p>

<p >I really like Mike Butkus's site & contribute regularly to the wonderful service he provides,, but for a relative thick, small in format manual like the F5, to carry in my camera bag, I prefer the original. I suppose one could print out one of Butkus' PDF manuals in duplex, cut it down to original size, & staple it together. That sounds like way too much work, & I've ruined more paper than I could possibly have saved by attempting duplexing. W/ today’s newer printers, duplexing may be easier to do, I don't know.<br>

<p>Oh! BTW, I call my F5 "A digital camera that happens to use film". I seriously wonder if a stone cold computer genius could use one w/o a manual. I've moved "up" / "back" (depending on your point of view) to an F4. The F5 is a wonderful camera. I'm just not sure if I'll ever gain enough mastery over all it's fru-fru menus it to be able to use it quickly & effectively.<br>

Best, JD</p>

<p>I did contact nikon about a F5 manuel. I believe they contacted someone in japan. Whichever way they did it the F5 manuel is now on the download list.Anyone needing one can get it there.<br>

Thanks so much for all who helped.</p>
