Important Information for Buyers:
- This Nikon F5 is over 20 years old, so please don’t expect a shiny, factory-fresh camera. She’s a seasoned veteran—well-loved, well-used, and all the better for it.
- The battery compartment door has a small fault. Don’t worry, though—it doesn’t affect functionality one bit. Just a quirk of age, like a fine vintage.
- I’ve owned this camera for many years, and it’s been nothing but dependable. No hiccups, no drama—just solid performance roll after roll.
- This is a sold-as-is situation, with no warranties, but in line with Australian Consumer Law, you’ve got a 5-day window to check it out and make sure it’s working as expected.
- If you decide to return it for any reason, please note that return shipping costs are on you.
This isn’t just a camera; it’s a piece of photographic history. If you’re the kind of person who loves a camera with stories to tell, this one’s for you.
