Hell!!! I'll even take an SL, R3, whatever, over the N brand. I have an FM2. It sits on my Beseler Slide Duplicator. After using a Leica, it needed a home as it would never see the light of day again. So it holds film behind a 75mm APO Rodagon, atop a copier. Yes, the FM2 is a great film holder. The Leica (which takes Leica lenses) takes great photographs. There is something about Leica lenses... There's a Leica for ANY budget. Jim
