There was a time when I always had a Nikon Nuvis S in my pocket, postcard size prints were good and the camera was no bigger than a pack of cigaretts. Now, in our region, finding an APS roll of film is a problem so the camera stays on the shelf. It was a good idea while it lasted.

I used to use Agfa films while working in South East Asia, going back at least 15 years, I have not seen them since then, I presume they have gone out of business. Did like them, in the tropics, their colours seem more natural. I would use them again if I c find them.

Interesting article on the OM system, if you have to have only one OM camera, which one would you choose. I have only one Olympus camera, the Pen F and its now under repair with Luton of UK. I hope I have made the right choice among the repairers in UK.

I 've got a Nikon 35Ti returned to me by my son, gave it to him before the end of last century and my daughter gave me her Nikon Zoom 300QD which I bought for her around that time. They have both gone digital and have no more use of these cameras, pleasant surprise.

A household name, hope that they will manage to keep their head above water, and perhaps come out of this downturn.

Nikkormats had lass features than the F, this reduce the cost considerable and made Nikon camera avaliable at a modest price. This allowed Nikon to reach the vast customer base who could not afford an F. Nikon F owners do use Nikkormats as a backup body as they are equally well known for their robustness and relability. I bought my Nikkormat FT body new in 1965 and to-day all systems are still working. Regards Hye
