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.
