And is probably used by more pros than the f5 on a 10 to 1 basis. But cost a grand. Not my price point that day. Part of my reason for getting the n80 was that I went from a very low tech decade of Leica M6 and Hasselblad CM to the digital Nikon D100. A whole world I had to learn to live in. And by learning the D100 I was also in most ways learning the n80 which shoots film and that was where the D100 body mainly came from.
