Service engineers at Nikon's German Service Centre discovered during routine servicing recently that a Nikon F5 had achieved 1,092,904 shutter releases without fault. This translates into about 35 kilometers of film.
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 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,” he added.
