[QUOTE="hark, post: 740968, member: 13196"] I will simply take your word for it, STM. ;) Back in the 1980's, I wanted to move from a rangefinder to an SLR. The Camera Shop showed me a Canon, a Nikon, and a Minolta. I don't remember the Nikon model, but it was about twice the price of the Canon and Minolta. I asked the sales rep which he'd recommend - the Canon or the Minolta. The Canon was Shutter Priority and Manual mode, the Minolta was Aperture Priority and Manual mode. The rep suggested the Minolta which was an XG-M model. I used that for at least 15 years before jumping ship to the Nikon N70 in the late 1990's - and only chose Nikon based on a couple of friends' suggestions who shot with Nikon. Upgraded to an N90s and still have both bodies as well as an FM2n. No desire to shoot 35mm film right now although these are all amazing bodies. Glad to see you are still shooting 35mm. :cool: [/QUOTE]
