Always great to see a S5 thread. I don't log on very often since the S5 was my last Fuji camera (and also because before the X cameras came out this forum was more about photography than hardware) and I did not move to the X system. Too much invested in Nikon glass so I now mostly shoot with a D800. Nothing against Fuji, I worked for them for almost 30 years and left during the intro of the S3. Still love the company and their products. I still own a S5 but do not use it often. In fact my S5 probably has less than 5000 actuations and is in like new condition. (Maybe I should take it out more often.)

Hi, I am actually considering picking one of these "legacy" S5's on the recommendation of a fellow DPReview member. I am currently a Nikon D5500 user...

My question is regarding this S5 actually having a Nikon Mount, when you mention "too much invested in Nikon Glass" what exactly does this mean in terms of functionality with the S5. Will the S5 be able to use, for example (the Lenses in my Gear List) the AF-P 70-300mm, and the Sigma 150-600 (c)?

If so, I am almost sold and ready to pick one up!
