The 45mm and the FM3A were released at the same time and both are 
available in either matching silver or black.

Here are a couple of links if you are interested.

All this talk of the Nikkor 45mm has made me start to lust after the 
Pentax 43mm Limited :-) .

OK, thanks.  I'm not up on the current Nikkor MF lenses.  I know Nikon 
has reproduced the 45mm with the same (or very close) formula as the 
GN Auto. Just wonder how the GN Auto fares in comparison with the new 
45mm, then.  Didn't Nikon make this new lens with the FM3a in mind?

Len,

I'm not Mike (well actually I am Mike but not THAT Mike)  The new 
45mm Nikkor P is the lens that Popular Photography chose as one of 
its "best prime lenses ever."  It has the electronics to provide 
matrix metering, distance information for flash etc on electronic 
bodies, but is in all other ways a manual focus lens.
