m3 Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 I recently acquired a used F5 and have been trying to find out approximately how old it may be. It's serial number is 31876xx. Do any other F5 owners out there have one with a serial number close to this one that can tell me when theirs was first purchased new. Thanks in advance.

jonathan_ratzlaff Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 I wouldn't worry about the age. I would take it to a Nikon shop and find how many times the shutter had cycled. That would provide more meaningful information Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m3 Posted April 4, 2003 Author Share Posted April 4, 2003 I wish I could just take it in to a Nikon shop to see how many times it has been shot however the closest one is about 500 miles away. I do not wish to send it in and be without it for 4 to 6 weeks to find it has only fired off maybe 2 or 3 hundred frames, not to mention any cost involved. It seems to be working just fine. I was just wondering about its age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
