I have some experience with the Nikon FM-10, which is it's Cosina
sibling. As compared to the OM single digit series, the Cosina cameras
are lighter, have a better shutter, but may be less durable and have
less features. I find the half depressed shutter release method of
turning on the meter wierd, and the location of the shutter speed
selector switch annoying. The Cosina camera has some very limiting
features, such as lack of a motor drive and non-interchangeable
focusing screens. It is not a professional camera, but OK for a
beginner.
Be seeing you.
