Nikon was the camera mans camera and the choice of pros. However, back then 
"the pros" didn't want the latest gizmos. If you discussed with those who 
wanted pro cameras they would tell you that pros couldn't use cameras dependent 
on batteries and that pros didn't need meters either; any real pro could 
calculate exposure by looking at the scene....Nowadays the same people will 
tell you that you need USM and multipoint metering in order to cut it. I'm 
cynical enough to realize that whats essential features for a pro is what the 
"pro brand" happens to offer at the time.
