What is the difference in cost between (S3 with 35/1.8) and (Olympic with 35/3.5)?
The problem in the uk is getting hold of lenses and bodies plenty of leica stuff but until I had bought my camera the only other Nikon I had handled was an s, I don't think they were very popular in the uk at all when they were new in the 50s and 60s.

Fraser, keep in mind the March as a Nikon Rangefinder month too. The 35f3.5 is not a bad lens - the later black barrel works fine - on par with a Leica Summaron 35mm f3.5 - and it is very small and compact too. Stock up on film and get ready for March.
I still have a brand new S3 black paint kit with the 50 1.4 that I don't even dare using !
The s3 Olympic is the last of the s3 line .
Did you buy the one peter had listed in the uk ?
If so the price was very attractive for the condition .
Sooner or later you will find the 1.8 35 nikkor .
They vary all over the place as far as price is concerned .
Look for separation in the rear element group along the edges ,
Also small spots in the second group in the front .
Check for marks on the glass .
I tried to resist the 35mm 1.8 but just couldn't any longer!
Thats me no more lenses think I will go for one body one lens with the s3.
I'd like to pose a question if I could. I have some funds opening up soon and would like to buy an SP or S3 but I'm not sure which one. I've had an S since 1972 and have been using Leica M for 25 years but I really want another Nikon. I wear glasses, would that affect using either SP or S3? I'd like to get the 28 f3.5 and the 35 f2.5. Thanks. Joe
