article
entitled 'The best 35mm cameras ever' in which they published the
results
of a survey of over 200 of the UK's leading photo experts including
photographers, camera manufacturers and dealers. They were asked to
vote
for their top five 35mm cameras and the results were used to produce a
top
20 list.
The list was as follows:
20th Pentax LX
19th Canon F-1n
18th Leica I
17th Leica III3
16th Nikon F90X
15th Canon T90
14th Pentax Z-1P
13th Nikon F3
12th Nikon F4
11th Nikon F2
