![]() By all accounts Nikon had polished the design a bit by the F6 (having got the F100 and F80 designs out of the way in the meantime). The F5 was one of Nikon's first attempts ( the first?) at the two-dial control system which has survived to their modern DSLRs I find it surprisingly familiar to use (alongside a D810, now) but the grip of the F5 certainly isn't quite as comfortable. It lacks the raw speed of the F5 (unless you add a grip), you can't remove the prism to use a WLF, and it doesn't support (I believe) the permanent mirror lock-up of the F5, which might bother you mostly if you have access to an invasive fish-eye. The F6 has a much-improved autofocus system (the 11-zone MultiCAM-2000 from the D2h/D2x, rather than something similar to the 5-zone MultiCAM-1300 from the D1 series) and can matrix meter with AI lenses (because you can tell it the focal length, like DSLRs). I've never seen an F6 either, though I have an F5.
