- "Little" belongs to bodies like the OM system, early Pentax ME/K, Fuji
- 701/801, Leica M, etc.
-
- There's no way I'd ever call a Nikkormat "little". "Brick-like"
- maybe. The only things noticably heavier in their time were Nikon Fs,
- Canon F1s, and Topcons, which deserve "Cinderblock-like". Only now in
- the AF days of many motors and AA cells in everything does a Nikkormat
- seem even medium sized.
-
- Whenever I decide which AF wind to follow (Brand C or Brand N), I'm
- going to keep my OM system-- There will be times when I'm not feeling
- strong enough to carry the technical advances of the industrial world!
