F5 Backs

Besides the standard back, above, there are two data backs available for the F5, the MF-27 and MF-28.

The MF-27 Data Back is the basic interchangeable film back for the F5. It imprints date and time information within a frame, giving one the choice of Year/Month/Day, Month/Day/Year, Day/Hour/Minute, or no imprint.

The MF-28 Data Back is more sophisticated. It can imprint data within frame, giving choice of Year/Month/Day, Month/Day/Year, Day/Month/Year, Day/Hour/Minute, Hour/Minute/Second, film number, serial upcount number or fixed number. Or can imprint between frames Month/Day/Hour/Minute/Second, Year/Month/Day/Hour/plus 8 more characters, Film number/Shutter speed/Aperture, compensation value in Auto Bracketing, or caption up to 18 characters plus year.

The MF-28 can also act as an Interval Timer which handles commencement time, number of shots taken, and number of intervals can also be imprinted on the film. Long time exposures can be set from one second up to 999 seconds, 999 minutes, or 999 hours. Auto Bracketing can be set up to 9 continuous frames, each with a different exposure. Freeze Focus is also available, where the moment a subject enters in-focus position the shutter is automatically released.
