Anyone else notice the irony of Nikon announcing a new MANUAL metal
bodied SLR with interchangeable screens, motor drive compatibility, ttl
flash metering, etc. (plus a full range of mechanical shutter speeds) -
the FM3a - about the same time Olympus announces the end of the OM
system? Sigh!
I don't know that much about Nikon lens, but I would be willing to bet
that some of the new lenses available for it were designed before the OM
lenses and were probably bested by the OM lenses.

Actually, the FM3A has been available for some time now. The appeal for me
is that such a new body gives life to the many Nikkor lenses already out
there and available, many of which more than hold their own with Zuikos.
