So after just a few years (30) of OM bodies, reliability issues drove me to finally break down and buy an FM2. I had always avoided this as I'm left eyed. Still, reliability issues and the desire for newer lens designs made me reconsider.
So, after a roll or two here's what I can say. The advance lever offset thing isn't as big of an issue as I thought and may actually be a benefit - wedge it into your skull and think of it as additional support. I do enjoy the new lens options; especially the Voigt 40 which I've used before and loved. Flash sync of 1/250 is a blessing. Overall body is a bit bigger but very workable. Nice having shutter display. Nice bright viewfinder. Really nothing to fault.
So we'll see - not a convert yet but very impressed by this Nikon body. Now to find a 28mm...
