Mark,

At two hours past my regular bed-time I'll give a hurried appraisal which I
may regret when I rise tomorrow... the top-ten will have to wait as well...
it will tax my simple brain too much tonight.

>Your personal faves...    M3 followed by Nikon F2 + MD and then the XPan.

>Historically most significant...    Nikon F (it liberated many pros and
made others)

>The BEST, even though not your favorite best...    'Blad 205 or possibly
the Alpa 12 with 38 Biogon.

>Best for the money...    my own / or any "user" M3.

>What is best for your particular subscribers...    never met any of my
subscribers (they probably wear EOSs)

>Most versatile...     Nikon F3 + its huge back-up system 
    
>Best looking...    Leica IIIf (and Pentax LX if I'm allowed two choices)

>Most popular...    can't think!

>Most congenial!...    Leica M3
