I love old cameras
While I do love my 400d and use it regularly, I have not yet found a camera as nice to use as my ~1980 Nikon FM - neither my favoured 400d, something fancy like a 5d or any manner of selections from other companies. The way everything either goes clunk in a reassuring fashion or glides perfectly as its funtion requires, and the perfect size and weight and bombproof build that will probably be working long after I am...

In fact yesterday I was wondering how hard it would be to get my hands on another because obviously two Nikon FM's are better than just one (plus a lens or two perhaps ;)

Then there is the fact that when I am next visiting my grandmother I am hoping to get the chance to run some film through the Leica IIc and Yashica-Mat TLR my Grandpa owned (neither of which have been used in decades, as he upgraded to an AF Canon)

I need more old cameras.
