Yes you still can use old F mount lenses on your new camera but you do have to make adjustments. I got rid of all my old lenses when I went AF for this reason. The F5 (and F100) both have a dial on the grip for changing the aperture. I disliked it at first then got used to it. Now I think its better than the old way at least as implemented on these cameras. Sorry your camera broke B.D. Trade off those old lenses and get new ones!
