A good big 'un will always beat a good little 'un!

 

[ruby.monkey]

The Nikon's gonna win - and then it's going to eat the Olympus.

 

[Sparrow]

but then, who would have expected a then light-heavyweight Cassius Clay (Muhammad Ali) to take the mighty Sonny Liston in 64 ...

 

[Pickett Wilson]

Please tell the children to leave the room, this is gonna be ugly.

 

[bidnez]

Soo tricky, but voted as I did in the prliminaries! Come on!

 

[Mudman]

F3 gonna smash it like a grape.

 

[Sparrow]

In the movie Kelly's Hero's. good ol Odd Ball and his 1 weird Sherman tank destroyed the 2 supposedly superior Tiger Tanks...he just shoots em in the arse

not to mention Rocky Balboa

the OM is only 3 points down at the mo, 10-7 in the first round

 

[wlewisiii]

I'd still rather a F1 but failing to get the best, I'll take the runner up F3.

The bigger they are the harder they fall! I'll take the oly anyday!

 

[ColinW]

'Mon the Oly!

 

[ruby.monkey]

Like the biblical story of David and Goliath: the bigger they are, the harder they fall.

This is conkers. The bigger they are, the harder they hit.

If I want a high-quality picture-taking instrument I'd pick either. If I need a war-hammer, it's the F3 every time.

 

[Sparrow]

Which one will stop the bullet?

depends on the bullet, a 22 wadcutter both, a 300 FMC neither

 

[ruby.monkey]

I reckon the F3 would have a fighting chance of stopping anything up to and including a .458 Winchester Magnum.

 

[Ezzie]

Since my favourite didn't make it, the F1 against the F3 ought to have been a good match, I voted the F3. not just because its bigger, but more importantly (when it comes to conkers) it has thicker skin!

 

[Pickett Wilson]

Still, that OM should have had at least a Motor Drive 2 attached to be a fair matchup with an F3 and MD4. Add the 250 exposure back and the OM would have a fighting chance.

 

[Sparrow]

I reckon the F3 would have a fighting chance of stopping anything up to and including a .458 Winchester Magnum.

sorry just a toy, Holland & Holland make real men's guns

 

[Sandwick]

I still say I could take them both with my Leicaflex!

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

While I love Nikons, have to admit I voted for the OM-1. If it was an OM-2, would have gone Nikon, but it's a manual thing. If it was a Nikon F or F2, would have gone Nikon.
