Nikon F5/F6 with series G lenses?
Just what the title says... Will an F5 or F6 couple the Aperature/focus/meter on series G lenses,
Are there any other Nikon cameras that will do this besides these two (if they do)?

My N90 works with G glass in P and S; in M and A minimum aperture only.

The F5 was the furthest-back pro body that offered full VR-G functionality, and the F100 offers it too.
Incidentally there's a compatibility list at B&H Photo, in the description in every G lens they offer.

I wouldn't buy a "G" lens unless it was very cheap or free. G is not a feature, G is a handicap. G lenses are crippled lenses without aperture rings and completely useless for manual photography. If it wouldn't work on my FM3a it isn't worth buying.

Hey Joe, are you saying if it is broke don't fix it? 
Warning!! Handling a Hasselblad can be harmful to your financial well being!
Nothing beats a great piece of glass!
I leave the digital work for the urologists and proctologists.

You can control the aperture using the sub-command dial on the F5 and F6, so no problem.
I sort of agree with Joe about the issue (although I prefer an F3HP to an FM3a) but I do own a G lens - I wanted a compact 24-85 and it's been a good lens. Still, I don't intend to buy any more G lenses.

A bunch of Nikons; Feds, Zorkis and a Kiev; Pentax 67-II (inherited from my deceased father-in-law); Bronica SQ-A; and a nice Shen Hao 4x5 field camera with 3 decent lenses that needs to be taken outside more. Oh, and as of mid-2012, one of those bodies we don't talk about here.
Favourite film: do I need to pick only one?

Just for my info, are you saying the G lens has aperture blades that the F5 or F6 can control somehow?

Unless you want M, that's totally fine. because in program, you can change the aperture with the command dial in P.
