Mostly used my F2's until the F4 came out. FM, FM2, FM2n with MD11 and MD12 - Nikon's best effort at a small, light, straightforward manual camera. Can use MD12, but is very sluggish with it. F601 - A decent camera, with a useable flash for fill. Lenses - note that I am more critical with respect to the more expensive lenses.
Main shortcomings are with ghosting and flare when sun is just out of picture.
All Nikon 18's exhibit this to a pronounced degree. Nikon's first at this focal length. Not very good, but compared with the older 21, it did offer through the lens viewing. Don't leave home without it. If you need the speed, no need to hold back.
