Hello Graywolf, Seems that you haven't used an FM before. Granted, the Nikon size difference is there, but beyond that, they function just about the same. Instead of 5 LED's for the metering, there are three. They use two together for the half stop indicator that Pentax uses a single yellow one. All manual, all mechanical, same shutter speed range, etc. Solid and hefty feel as well.
