The F6 uses a pair of CR123A lithiums it lasts a bit longer, but two of those things still costs quite a bit more than a whole set of AAs for the F5. One can only suppose the F5 required a built in because of its insatiable hunger for AA batteries. (Too bad, because the super-high eyepoint sports finder for that camera was a thing of beauty easily the largest and brightest finder I’ve ever seen on a 35mm SLR.) It also revered to the F4 and previous designs that made the vertical grip a detachable unit, as opposed to the built-in on the F5. The camera differs from its predecessors in many ways – firstly, it’s the only single-digit (pro) F body to lack interchangeable prisms apparently this feature was so seldom used on the F5 that it was dropped. In 2004, however, Nikon gave the world one last hurrah in its long lineup of film cameras – the F6. 181-187Index.Many thought this camera would never see the light of day, or it would do so as some strange film-digital hybrid with interchangeable backs.
