there's the magic word...plastic.
Once Nikon discontinues the F100, there will only be 2 all metal bodies
left...the F5 and FM3a (the FM3a is selling so poorly I might add that a rep
up here in Canada says Nikon is thinking of discontinuing it).
Loooooooooong live plastic.

Them's fightin' words. I've (shudder) handled my son's fancy new plastic
N*k*n and immediately felt the need to wash my hands and hold an OM-1. So
long as there's us and eBay, the OM line lives! As for Jerry, he's not
dead. Like Elvis, he just went home.
