I am now motivated to increase my film usage from 25-50 rolls per month to at least 100. I am still happy that I got rid of the 28-70. I can't afford to miss a shot! I know where there is a used one if anyone is interested? Bob << > Must be a typo.....my F5 will set to 1/2500, not 1/2520. Nope. I was using aperture priority and the F5 sets shutter speeds steplessly in this mode. When I set the aperture to f/2.8 (to maximize depth of field) in bright sunlight, it selected 1/2520 as the shutter speed, as I recall (it could have been 1/2250). I remember being intrigued by the fact that it selected such a precise shutter speed, instead of rounding it off. I also found it amusing that it could even go that high--with a Leica, I would have been out of luck. The resulting images looked great to me when I scanned them. And much better than the 24-120--and the 24-120 is no slouch. -- Anthony >>
