weight of the F5

[Robert McLaughlin]

I saw in the Nikon digest that the F4 was too heavy for you, I liked your
comments!  For the heck of it, picture me at work:  

Left shoulder: Nikon F5 with 80-200/2.8D
Right shoulder: Nikon F5 with 300/2.8AFS and TC20E
Vest pockets: Sigma 14mm, Nikon 24-120, SB26, two battery packs, lots of AA
batteries, 40 rolls of film.

Then I walk about 6 miles a day with all that on.

Every day.

And last year I gained 14 pounds.  :-)
