Dear Kazuya,
Thank you very much for your price information, well $850 listed is
quite expensive. Street price may be close to $700, just too expensive
for the student here :-)

I don't think any FM, new, ever qualified as a "student camera"
because of the price.
The idea of a student camera is rather curious to me. It seems to me
to be a basic manual focus camera with some sort of automatic or
semi-automatic exposure system that is built and priced so cheaply
that a student can afford it and hopefully it will last long enough
to take mediocre pictures for the class. Once the student has
"learned" photography he/she can then buy a grown up camera which
requires no knowledge at all to operate and which will never be
operated manually. Why not start with a point and shoot or with a
good manual camera to start with? The cost of the so called student
camera added to the cost of the subsequent, even inexpensive camera
would be enough to buy a very nice camera.
So maybe an OM4T, OM3T, or FM3a could be a "student camera".
