I don't see why someone who is interested in a digital rangefinder 
would care how a film SLR of any vintage or capabilities compares.  A 
more logical comparison would be a film SLR and a digital SLR and in 
this comparison for me from viewing prints the digital SLR (DMR in my 
case) has pretty much replaced the film SLR at ISO 400 and above.  BTW 
I do have a recently-CLA'd Nikkormat FTN with 50mm f/2 lens (also 50mm 
f/1.4 AIS, 55mm f/2.8, 200mm f/4 and 300mm f/4.5 ED non-IF).
