Nikon F5: The Final Frontier by Dante Stella
"I am probably going to do a more comprehensive runthrough on this later, but suffice to say that I like the camera. I am not sure that it is so similar in concept to the F4 with MB-20 battery pack that it is a direct replacement."

How to use Nikon's CLS (Creative Lighting System) with the F6 and DSLR's - NikonF6
"CLS - what does it mean? The short answer is, using contemporary Nikon flashes on contemporary Nikon cameras. Not studio strobes, not pocket wizards, not other 3rd party lighting solutions. It's a Nikon specific thing."
Nikon F6 Project appreciation site by John Crane
"I bought my F6 new in August of 2008 just before leaving for a photo trip to Zion National Park. Really more just to have one, just in case it was their last. But after reading up on it, running a few rolls of film through it and seeing the results I realized this was no camera to sit on a shelf gathering dust as a collector's item."
