Comments: Fantastic, well-built camera. The body feels just like an F, but it is smaller and lighter due to the lack of prism and mirror housing. Has non-standard shutter release cable (shared with the Nikon F/F2 and early Leicas). I wish this camera had 85/105mm framelines, but I can always use external viewfinders.
Not a huge fan of the infinity lock and the 'razor wheel' method of focusing, but it has grown on me.
