Nikon Press Release 05/11/03
Service engineers at Nikon's German Service Centre were amazed to discover during routine servicing recently that a Nikon F5 had achieved 1,092,904 shutter releases without fault.
Translating into about 35 kilometers of film this figure is a testament to the durable design of the mechanism, now also shared by the latest Nikon D2H Professional Digital SLR.
To put the 1,092,904 shutter releases into context, it equates to 34 hours of continuous shooting at 8 frames per second.
The camera is one of the bodies used in the Matthaus Photographic Studio in Nuremburg, Germany.
Nikon Germany’s Service Manager Joachim Hoffman said: “This is the most shutter releases I have ever seen. The F5 shutter is, in my opinion, definitely more durable than any other camera’s. Because the F5 in question was well looked after and serviced regularly, that makes it last longer- it’s a bit like going to the dentist!” he added.
