For me it is a fun item that allows me to use my F2 again.
Everything you need, except for the SD card, is in the kit. I am using a 32 GB card.
To fit it you need to remove the film pressure plate from your camera back. This is an easy process as it is usually a four point attachment on the camera back that relies on spring clips.
Then you align the 20MP 4/3 sensor into the shutter aperture of the camera where the film would fit. A single piece of tape holds it in position until the film back is closed.
It works for almost all film cameras so it will work with your F5.
No communication with the camera.
To take a photo you set up the camera shutter speed and aperture and focus it then trigger the ImBack Film electronics then within 1-2seconds you trigger your camera shutter.
Yes this is clunky but it achieves the result.
Results are more akin to an Kodak Instamatic result rather than the result of modern digital cameras.
I think that the focus may need focus adjustment but mine gives what I want.
The electronics give an option to have film simulations applied so the is B&W and several different film sims available. ISO 100-1600.
The result is saved as a RAW and/or JPG.
The RAW file needs conversion to a DNG for processing. Conversion software is via a java based applet that runs locally on you computer in the internet browser.
The JPG option works but I use the RAW+JPG option.
Download images via USB-C cable to your computer or bluetooth to phone or tablet if you prefer.
