SLR Conker knockout The Grand Final

[Sparrow]

To stop that you'd need a Pentax 67 (although the Olympus would have an even chance of dodging it).

Yep ... but there would have the be an elephant standing behind it 🙂

... and anyway, the oly wouldn't see it coming for the smoke 😀

I voted for the camera that has the lens focussing in the right direction, has the aperture ring where I expect it to be, and has the rewind knob in the right place. I always thought the F3 was a camera for posers, not photographers.

The OM1 just needs the coordinates for the nikon weakspot....."am sending the details now Luke,go in through the prism finder!"

I hated my OM1- it was too fiddly , shiny , awkard , sharp edeges , etc .
Does everyone love this camera ? I swapped for a Minolta SRT and don't regret it for a moment .

I'm glad the F3 is in the red corner 'cos it's going to win, unlike my lads in red who were hammered at Craven Cottage today... :-((

I've owned 2 OM-1's. I didn't like the first so I sold it. I kept reading how wonderful they are and so when I found one at St. Vinnies, I tried again.

Owned it for a couple of weeks & sold it happily.

Now, OTOH, that nice black finish Canon FTbN I picked up recently is a very different story... 😉

That strap was my late mother's. She bought it for her AE-1 (which I also have but don't use) and, well, what can I say? I have a soft spot for it 🙂

And more seriously, I'm used to that over the shoulder kind of carry for it. I find it a way to get it in action fairly quickly in nice weather.

The F3 is probably my least favorite Nikon SLR.
