The cameras were the Nikon FM2N, Leica R6.2, Contax S2/S2b and the Olympus OM3Ti. As I recall (I can check again tonight when I get home), the Leica outshined the Nikon (and everything else) in the handling department. Not to mention lens-quality. It's built like the proverbial brick privy and stood up to more rigorous use than the Nikon. But the clincher, again as I recall, was that the handling of the Leica far outweighed the Nikon. The Contax was their second favorite, I think. M. - -- Martin Howard, Grad.
