Funny you should mention Nikon. Last week I went to try out the FM3A, the
newest manual from Nikon. You know, there is no power switch!!! You have
to keep the film advance lever cocked out a bit, which is an eye poker. Why
would they design it this way? It is not a bad camera though. Nikon never
seems willing to go the extra little bit to get a really good camera out.
The FM3a with a power switch, mirror lockup, and the ability to use more
than 3 focusing screens would make a great camera. But alas, the current
one still cannot compare to my OM1n.

And when the insurance settlement comes in what would you replace it
with? I have to admit, even with the prices and considerations of
long term viability, I would get another OM system. It really is,
for me, the most perfect, intuitive system camera around. If that
were not possible I might consider an Aria, not having tried the poke
in the eye test that Nikons fail.
