If I already had the FD glass I wouldn't even think about changing to Nikon...I'd be saving up my money for a 55/1.2 SSC Aspherical and the 85 also!
Paulbe said:ChrisP--you're right! The A-1's readout looks a lot like the HP35--
BrianL--to use the A-1 in manual mode, the IB says to take the lens off the "A" setting, and turn the Av/Tv selector dial to Tv. That puts it in manual mode.
Really a nice camera. Lots of features, really well-built, easy to use.

Wow - what a beauty!
I think this week, I may be spending the £200 required to secure an F1N
Raid - I know what you mean, but just don't find the A1 as intuitive as I'd like. That said, maybe I need to put a few more rolls though and give it another chance.
Thanks for all of the comments.

Aperture priority is AE.
Nikon went with aperture priority AE (auto exposure) while Canon went with shutter priority AE, until both companies offered the choice of both, which I believe Minolta were the first to do.
.......The 55mm ASPH is claimed to be even sharper.
Hi Jim,
I used for many years the 55/1.2 SSC non-asph lens. It was big and heavy. I replaced it with the L lens. Not often do you find an asph for sale even though it is for the "dead" FD sytem.
