Manufacturer description
In 1998, two years after the introduction of F5, we at Nikon marked the 50th anniversary of our camera production from the first release of Nikon I in 1948. In commemoration of this, we decided to offer the 50th Anniversary Model, which was designed based on the F5 with changes in the color of the upper body cover and body cap to a sober dark silver color, and the rubber of the oval section of the grip to a dark gray, adding a quality appearance to the camera. On the front of the viewfinder was inscribed the same Nikon logo as adopted in Nikon I, and the back of body was marked with the former company marking of Nippon Kogaku K.K. and the marking for 50th Anniversary of Nikon Camera. This was the only variation model of F5.
In June 1998, the 50th Anniversary Model Nikon F5 (with a special wide strap for the anniversary model) went on sale in a limited quantity of 2,000 (3,000 in total including those on the foreign markets) at a domestic price of 340,000 yen (consumption tax excluded).
