@Cooltouch a very informative link.
Just to throw another question on Nikons into the ring,what are the opinions of the F90x or N90s(depending on which country you are in) This camera was what I was originally going to buy before I bought the Ricoh.The expense of the nikon lens put me off so I went with what is readily available M42 and K mount.

Mo-Fo, are you planning to buy AF lenses, is this why you're interested in the AF Nikons? I note that your Ricohs are manual focus.
Honestly, if I were not particularly interested in acquiring AF Nikkors, I'd be looking more in the direction of a durable mf Nikon. My personal favorite is the F2, but the F3, as well as the FM/FM2 and FE/FE2 are all great performers that have proved their durability. And if you want a motor, all have motor drive options. The F2 with MD2/MB1 probably weighs a bit more than an F4s, the F3 with MD4 probably less, and the FE or FM series with MD-12, quite a bit less.

To be honest MF suits me at the moment.I am just looking at the different options out there in good "old" cameras to buy,so one of the main reasons for my questions.....
educating myself with your technical knowledge of cameras and the fact you have also used them.(hope you don't mind  )
