Both have operated flawlessly thru sometimes incredibly poor daily treatment and over 5,000 rolls between the two. They do not rattle or show any sign of coming apart or breaking. Your statement is surprising to me. Please explain what you mean...."Unlike Leica SLRs Nikons dont break."????

I have had mine sine 1985 and it is a reliable workhorse. Unlike Leica SLRs Nikons dont break. With the FM2n you get shutters speeds of 250 for flash and 4000th for action, thousands of excellent used lenses available for very little money. The camera is light and compact and with a moter drive ergonomically excellent. Go into most camera stores around the country and ask for Leica SLR stuff and they look at you like you are crazy. The M's are a different story, I totally love my M2s. Steve Annapolis>>
