Hi Bill
If you were just for a moment to think of replacing your OM camera bodies
with a Nikon wonderbrik, what would it be? Would a new FM 3a or F90x (N90n)
be a good one? Rather amongst all the Nikons what would you get?
My N*k*n picks (one of them can only be found used now):
F3
FM3a
FM2n
FE2n (only available used)
Indeed, when I was ready to greatly expand my 35mm SLR system, all of these
(except the newly released FM3a) were seriously considered along with the
Nikkor AIS lenses. The F3 is not a Wunderbrick, it's pure Brick. Built
like a tank, but it has the size and weight of one too. Maitani's
Wunderkind OM bodies and Zuiko lenses won out. Smaller size, lighter
weight, and just as reliable/durable.
