Bill,

I think people should do "that which makes them happy".

The FM3a specs out remarkably similar to an OM-2n.  The OM is better in
some areas (low light metering) and the FM3a is better in others (flash
synch speed, mechanical shutter on all speeds).

Are N*kon lenses better? Maybe (probably).  If image quality is a
serious concern, then dad should be using a monopod or tripod.  Or,
upgrading to a MF outfit.

If I were going to the trouble of moving to a different system, I would
want more of an improvement, such as auto-focus.

My two cents.

Bill Stanke

Many of us do not see auto-focus as a improvement. As a friend of mine says of his higher priced AF Pentax, "Good enough for machine prints, but not for slides." :-)
