Nikon F100 with AF Nikkor 50mm f/1.4D |
|
The camera was positioned as an 'affordable pro' compared to the F5. Although about twice the price of a F90X, the price tag was acceptable in comparison with his big brother. To achieve this, the F100 used more plastic parts, a brass lens mount, it lacks mirror lock-up and has no eye-piece shutter nor a removable prism. Despite of these cost cutting measures, the F100 was a highly regarded piece of equipment, questioning the F5 price premium. |
The MD15 makes the F100 look very similar to the F5. Although it doesn’t change the camera performance much, attaching the MD15 to the F100 reassures a firm hold on the body. When using larger and heavier lenses, the use of the MD15 becomes more or less a necessity.
