35mm, two systems
A tale of two systems. As you can see here, both of these SLRs are pretty nice examples of their respective brands. The Pentax Spotmatic SP with the 35mm f/3,5 Super Takumar weighs 1 lb. 14 oz., and the Nikon FE with the fantastic 35mm f/2 Nikkor weighs 2 pounds, 2 ounces. Not a lot of difference, and both are joys to use. One is fully manual, the other aperture-priority. The Spotmatic and its lens are definitely more compact than the Nikon FE. I can't go wrong with either one.
