I've owned and used a number of screwmount cameras. While I liked the
Fuji 801 very much, I found it a bit fragile. I broke the advance
mechanism on two of them. One got ten years of use or so and probably
about 3000 rolls of film. That's all one can expect. The second one
lasted only a couple of months. My all time favorite is the Spotmatic
F. The meter isn't as advanced as the Fuji, but the camera feels better
in terms of workmanship. And it seems to be very tough. Of course it
will give you open aperture metering with all those wonderful SMC Tak
lenses. That's a very good thing.

Canon 1DSmkII with a mount adapter?
How about a 5D?

Second choice: Fujica 705 & 801 (brighter finder and silicium
meter).
But way ahead is... Canon T90 used with SMC Takumar lenses, each
with
the proper Canon adapter. Multi-spot metering, flash spot metering,
8 images per second, etc...
