We know the M2 is king but what Tom's opinion on SLR's?

It has been a while since I posted - and true to fashion a couple of SLR's have been added. A chome Spotmatic with a working meter! Won it in our local camera club "summer outing" - the price was right. The winning shot was taken with an old Nikon S with a #5005xxx number 50f1.4. The rule is that the camera has to be 50 years or older.
Also picker up a Leica R6 - mainly because I got tired of doing math in my head for bellows extension compensation ( at least that was my rational) - and yes, also for using the 180f3.4 Apo Telyt with some Tech-pan.
 
My Canon/Nikon SLRs are digital, but I did own the FM2 when the world was young. My film SLR system is Contax RTS (I remember the press release around 1974). My contender for "King of Cameras"...

This is one of three in my collection. :)
 
I have two Nikon Fs (edit make that three now) and two F2s with the possibility of adding a third F and F2 at some point. My other bodies in the Nikon fleet include two Nikkormat Ftns, two F3s and a FM2.
