I have tried the FM3a, and I really like it.  Is has pre-fire, which is good
for astronomy, but that damn wind lever really bugs me.  I doubt they will
fix it though.  A Nikon rep told a dealer her in Ottawa that sales have been
so poor that it may be discontinued.  Anyone heard this?

I picked up an FM3a in a store and I liked it.  THe stick-you-in-the-face 
wind-lever is an old "feature" of Nikon cameras.  You get used to it.  My 
impression was that the quality was similar to an OM-4t/3t.  The FM/FM2/FM3 
series has ALWAYS gotten very good reviews for overall ruggedness.  There 
are many tens of thousands out there humming along.

But the argment/discussion is really academic anyway.
