Bought a new FM3a

I've got myself a FM3a...

I have a Nikon Df with a FM3a K3 mattescreen installed, together with the Nikkor Ai-S 1:1.2/50mm and Nikkor Ai-S 1:2.8/28mm.

So I decided to buy a Nikon FM3a with the exact same mattescreen as in my Df, and now I can use the lenses both digitally and on film.

Sometimes I want to shoot digital and analog (as in to decide on location) and normally I had to bring two whole different systems of Bodies and Lenses.

Now I can bring 2 lenses and 2 bodies and be done.

Any people shooting the FM3a regularly, any tips? I don't have any experience shooting Nikon film cameras, I normally only shoot Leica M6 and Leica R8.

Thanks!

Well post a pic of the beauty! And sounds like its time for you to hunt down the 45/2.8 AI-P to go with it.
