Nikon F2 Photomic + 50mm f1.4
My F2 has escaped from its shelf in the spare room.
"Come on, man! Gimme a Portra! An Ektar! Hell, gimme an Ultramax! Dude, get me outta here - it's Spring!"
He's very insistant.

Pentax MX + SMC-M 50mm f1.7
The Pentax MX and Olympus OM-2n just feel best to me, although Nikon FM2n comes closest to ideal.

Time to give it a clean and find a nice place on a shelf for it.
Move on to an FG - electronic but later and more reliable.

Made in New York, probably c1944.
Not military issue - no markings - but identical to M13 or M13A1 military version, without the reticle.
Purchased locally from an 88yo Canadian/Australian.

I hear Casio GShock are popular with military types - although maybe not my bright yellow one!
Very rugged, solar powered with 6 months power reserve, 200m water resistance and easy to read.
