My vote would have to go to the Canon EOS1V, with the EOS1n in hot pursuit. The Nikon F4 was the reason that I left Nikon all together and, although I like both the F5 and the F100, it would take a seismic shift to make me go back to Nikon at all. I never clicked with any Pentax, although I could see that the LX had certain features that I would have liked. I have a sentimental attachment to the Olympus OM1 for getting me into 35mm in the first place and I liked the OM4Ti for it's size and ease of use, but I wouldn't want to return to those Zuiko lenses (sharp but the telephotos were tricky to focus).

The same can be said for the Canon F1 and F1n. The fact that you had trouble hand holding it at less than 1/125th even with wide angle lenses because of that mirror swing and shutter clang makes the F2 a distant memory that I wouldn't want to revisit. The Nikon F2 had one thing going for it - it was tough. It takes a lot of hands on practice to get the focusing right on an M6 and I'm out of practice. They were nice to use in their day, but that was then and this is now and all I see when I try to use them now is their faults.

Lots of others have gone for various Leica M series cameras, and I still own to M6s with a couple of lenses. I actually preferred the FM2 in a lot of ways to the F3, and had the F3P not had a working hot shoe I would have stuck with the FM2s. Add those faults with the tendency (even on the F3Ps that I had) for the whole chassis to twist when used with big lenses and I would have to say that I'd never go back to the F3. Several people have opted for the Nikon F3, but I would fnd the poor maximum flash synch speed painful nowadays and the heavy shutter release on the body and lack of vertical shutter release on the motor drive a big drawback now.

Tank like construction was never all that near the top of my feature list! I always demand well made cameras that are fit for professional use but i think that we all get a bit too misty eyed about the cameras from the past. Sometimes, when using the latest digitalР”В¬amera, I miss the old days of just using one great camera and a The M3 was built like a tank, with the best Never used a camera that 'felt' so good to use and produced such My Leica M3 dated back to the late 1950'sР”Р„nd did not have too many modern conveniences (like a meter), but I

I owned most of the better pro cameras (Contax RTS,Р”В¬anon EOS 1V, Minolta, Pentax PZ-1P, etc.), but my favorite hasР”Р„lways been the Leica M3.

Now that everyone is shooting digital (well, at least mostР”В®veryone), what was the best 35mm camera ever made? My vote goes to as everything else was downhill from there!
