I love my Nikon FA, also use an N70 and a D1x. The FA has such a smooth feel and is feature packed. The N70 is also feature packed but designed by and for computer geeks. I don't really mind the interface because I get it, but I really appreciate the D1x layout in comparison. I just wish the N70 had mirror lock up, maybe it doesn't need it. I like my SLR's but I have been gravitating towards rangefinders much more often over the last year. I finally appreciate the wonders of leaf shutters and quiet stealthy cameras.
 
Started with a Canon Ftb in the early 70s then moved on to an Ae 1 prog in the mid 80s, bit of a backward step in hindsight. Olympus OM10 for a few years until the it died, replaced with a OM40 (PC in the USA) ok camera beautiful lenses, love the 24mm 2.8 and the 100mm 2.8. Still have it and use it :)
Would like another Ftb on an F1 of old times sake or a Leica if i win the lottery.

Nikon !!! It was the camera I could not afford when I was young ! Now I can.
I have an F-100 abd (most used) an FM2. My wife uses an F-65. !

ButI still have my first SRL (minolta SRT 101- in that time more or less one month of my salary!) and the more modern X-700.

All still working!

Bought my first Nikkormat (FT) in 1973, moved onto F & F2`s in the 1980`s. Also about this time tried a Konica T3, nice camera, but not compatiable with my Nikons so I sold it. In the 1990`s bought a F90x & 500cm `blad for wedding work. But recently I have fallen in LUST with Yashica Electro`s, an Electro,2 GSN`s & an early YL. Oh where will it all end?
 
Eheh, don't know if I can be counted between all this peolple with long experience, since I bought and used my first SLR one year ago ;-)
Minolta x-700 and SRT 303 bought on ebay.
Why Minolta? Just happened that my girl uses a x-300, I just tought we could share lenses.... and now after a GAS syndrome ;-) I own a bag full of Rokkors....
 
Started out with a Canon AE-1, then got an EOS 500, then a EOS 5, then added a EOS 50E a backup, found this site, went mad and sold my 35mm SLR stuff and got hooked which has now lead me to two M2s and two draws full of Canonets.
I was proudly 35mm SLR free until two weeks ago when I rescued a FE, so I'm now a Nikon user.

However far as I am concerned there is only ONE SLR...

Hasselblad

Nuff said.

Stu :)
 
First an Exakta Kine II (sitting on the tripod over to the left, taken with a FED). Then various Minoltas ending with the XE5. Moved on to EOS for the autofocus, now 20D.

And back to square 1 with various Exaktas again, trying to find which one works best.

First I used Canons, later on Nikons.
Even tried Olympus and Minolta.
Finally I learned Pentax fits best...
