A friend is selling a couple of bodies: an FM and an F3. I have been offered either, or both, at attractive prices. The FM has a new shutter; the F3 is non-HP. Both are in good condition. I already own an F90, F601 and Nikkormat FTn. I would likely keep all three bodies. My logic: In favour of the FM: The Nikkormat is inconvenient to use with AF lenses since I must use stop-down mode; the camera uses obsolete batteries (although I have several in the fridge), and the meter will eventually fail. The FM is a lot smaller, a lot more reliable and functions normally with all my lenses. I would need to spend money to be able to use a flash with the F3. In favour of the F3: I really want to own an F-series body :), it's got aperture priority, it's built like a tank and will outlast me. I can easily afford the FM; the F3 would be at a price that is extremely attractive, although higher. What would your advice be? I mostly shoot landscapes and scenics, some action work (use my F90 for that). I live in a harsh climate. Jim _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?
