Yep. They're still _the_classic system SLR, built like tanks and will go on
for ever with a bit of tender loving care. Just picked up an FTn with
50/1.4 which looks and feels as if it's just come out of the box - not a
mark on it inside or out, and everything still quite tight compared to my
two other venerable 'user' Fs. Got a couple of F2s as well, which may be a
little more refined in certain respects, but don't have quite the character
of the original article.

But talking of tanks (and keeping on topic) I also love and use a couple of
Leicaflex SLs - the viewfinder and metering system is second to none, and
the lenses aren't bad either.........:-?
