Now that I have shot a couple of rolls with the F75, what do I think? Even though I’ve only developed one roll so far, I can say it’s a delightful camera.

The first experience with the Nikon F5
Yesterday, I had the first opportunity to use the Nikon F5, and I managed to finish one roll of film. You’ll get to see some shots eventually, but I can share with you some of my thoughts.
Nikon Photo Secretary
One day, I read about this software called Nikon Photo Secretary (AC-1WE). With it, supposedly, you could access more custom settings on the Nikon F5.
Classic tractor plowing
It’s an annual event, a competition in plowing with classic tractors in Sevalla. This was the first time we visited.
Car race
Today, we visited a car race, “Krutcupen” (The powder cup), in which regular cars compete. It was fun photographing something a bit different.
Nikon F100 versus F5
Like with most physical things, you really have to hold and use a camera with your own hands to get an appreciation for how it feels, and how it compares to other cameras.
Waiting for Lee
It’s rare for me to be excited about a film, but “Lee” is an exception.
Battery grip MB-18 for Nikon F75 (N75)
A battery grip is always nice to have, so I got one for the F75.
Nikon F5
I returned the broken F100 to Japan, got a refund, and was set on buying another F100. Instead, I came across a Nikon F5 in good shape here in Sweden for about the same as I had paid for the F100. How could I not get it?
Kodak ColorPlus 200
Kodak ColorPlus 200 is supposedly the cheapest fresh C41 film you can buy. That’s certainly why I picked it, when I needed a few rolls recently. So what’s it like?
