Of my cameras, my Nikon FG is my favorite. The shutter is bad and I
need to replace it. I'd like to replace it with something that is
similar, but a little better is ok. :o) I like the simplicity of
it, I like manual, and I like the metering system. Any suggestions?
(I also have a Hasselblad and a F100, but want a simple little manual
body. That's what I use most.)
Thanks so much.

Dear Janet,
FM series (the last FM-3A has also an aperture automatic exposure) and
FE series (aperture automatic exposure, easily switched to manual) have
a similar metering system (60% in the 12mm circle, 40% outside).
The F3 models have a slightly different ratio (80%-20%). I've a pair of
F3s and it's one of my favorite, a pro camera, very rugged but still
compact.
Most of actual Nikon SLRs use matrix metering but still have the
traditional 60%-40% metering. They're also very easy to switch back to
manual exposure.
If you've still a lot of manual lenses, then the last low-end bodies may
not accept them easily.
Finally, the FG should be easy to find second-hand at a ridiculous price.
