- The FT-3. It had the superb mechaincal shutter of the Nikormat series
- (made by COPAL, btw) and AI coupling. It also had a much more robust
- metering strip than the earlier models.
-
- The other contemporary Nikormats, the EL, and later the EL2 had integrated
- circuits most of whom have died of old age and poor quality.
-
- IMHO the FM (and FM2, FM2n) are nice, but the don't have the same solid
- feel.
