i love my Nikon FM so much I bought a N90 to go with it.
I briefly thought about getting a FM2 but with N90 going like
$30 on ebay, it was a no brainer.
as for lens, I currently have a 50/2 preferring it over the scalloped
50/1.4 lens, and I have a 35-70 f3.5.
I am currently looking at either a 85/2 or a 105/2.5 for portrait work.
Coming from a RF background, I like my Nikon because of:
* Close Focus, some lens even focus down to crazy 35mm and up
* Faster Sync Speed, on the FM it is 1/125, on the n90 it is 1/250
* Faster shutter speed on the N90, allowing wide open shots outdoors
* Easier handling for Tele Lens. RF focusing requires imagination, SLRs are more WYSIWYG
* Cheaper Lens, everybody is after AF lens, making MF lens quite affordable
here's a grab shot, shot from the FM with 50/f2 lens,
Neopan 400 and developed in D76
