[QUOTE="STM, post: 386231, member: 12827"] I like the styling to be sure, but the attraction to me is that all of the major controls are in in a place where I am used to and expect them to be. And since my D700 is on manual 99.9% of the time and is for all intents and purposes a digital F2 or FE-2/F4S (which I never use on auto either), having the controls where I expect them to be is a big bonus. From an ergonomic standpoint, my Nikkormat FT3 is STILL the best. The shutter speed dial was around the lens mount so you can adjust shutter speed and aperture with the left hand only. The speed was displayed in the finder (no aperture) but it great. And the thing was a tank. The film rewind was actually smoother on the FT3 than on the F2 or FE-2. It was smooth as butter, but was not ratcheted like the F2 and FE-2 [/QUOTE]
