The Good And Bad, Shooting With A Nikon F5

Shot the F5 Nikon with the 20-35mm lens for the first time in a long long time. I wanted to give this camera setup a try leading up to my next series of photographs in Thailand. I liked the camera it has many advantages.

Advantages:
Speed of shooting with the motor drive and auto focus.
Reliable auto flash for fill and bounce flash.
Fast film change out.
20-35mm focal lens, for quick composition.
Sharp Lens

Disadvantages:
Heavy, thing ways quite a bit.
Noisy, motor drive makes noise
Larger more intimidating camera (subjects might not like being photographed with it, looks to pro like).
20-35mm lens is slow only a F2.8
