Second hand store acquisition but I'm wondering what kind of modification is that below rewind knob

I'd guess it's for triggering flash.

Abram, the 50/1.2 and 58/1.2 are pretty big and heavy on the compact FM3A but manageable if you must.
What I find much more an issue then the size and weight of the lens is that the little FM3A finder is ok to focus the fast f1.2 lenses but the finder of a (cheap as dirt) Nikon F3 is so much better and easy on the eye (especially when using the high magnification finder and a full matte screen as the H2 screen).

This is why I barely ever use the fast lenses on my FM3A but if I can use the F3 instead.
I find lightweight and small lenses most wonderful on the FM3A - the perfect pairing.
My favorite lens on the FM3A is the 50/2.8 AiS - perfect handling (and a very sharp and contrasty lens to boot).

… not saying the fast glass can't be used on the FM3A ;-)

Good Point. I find the small CV 40/2 lens just right.

Very nice indeed, they don't seem to get much appreciation here, people do not know what they are missing!

Leicaflex SL MOT Black Paint with 28mm Elmarit Ver II

The Leicaflex SL is one of my favorites. I must've put 600-700 rolls through this model over the last decade. A big, bold, beautiful viewfinder coupled with low shutter vibration due to a crazy good braking system. Yes, truly under appreciated, but that makes them great values.

That's one of the finest SLR setups one can have. Not to mention one of the best 28s ever created!
