Hello fellow gearheads, A small correction to earlier posts about multiple exposure using F5 and F100: The F5 can be set with a CF to do multiple exposure the same way as the F100. The standard operation is that you have to set the multiple exposure once for every additional frame, but setting the CF will change the ME button to be a toggle button. Personally I find this a little dangerous - it is easy to forget to turn off the ME setting. I did this once (silly me), and lost ten or fifteen shots that I cannot recreate. I have now learned my lesson, and also changed the ME CF back to the standard setting. The standard setting seems consistent with the whole philosophy of the F5 ergonomics design: always additional safety steps to make sure that no shots are lost by accidentally changing a setting. Other controls that work this way are: - Rewind: two buttons, two hands required. - Film advance switch: lock button (also on F100?) - Power on button: lock button - focus area lock: two hands - metering switch: lock button (also on F100) - back opening: lock button (well, many cameras have this) Moose Peterson commented that the F100 is like an F5 with all the safety locks removed, which sounds about right. Nikon must have received some feedback from F5 users about this. Did they listen to pros or amateurs? Happy shooting, Åke Vinberg
