It is excellent, but I can't remember the last time I used mine! Ok I can, a few months ago but still.
I should sell mine. Maybe.
Same for my Nikon F3P, F2s, Leica R9... the only film SLRs I really use are the AF ones. Otherwise it is my RF or VF cameras.

The XK has got to be my favorite manual focus SLR to use. A true shooters camera. It is the M5 of the slr world.

I understand! My n90s gets use a ton. I sold my f3, as nice as that is, because I didn't shoot it and I have an f2 (sellers regret though). But the xk with the 35-70 attached suits the majority of my needs so it often stays in my car seat. Been shooting the Leica CL with 40 cron a bunch as well, the m5 is just sitting unused at the moment. As well as the other 20 or so cameras. I use my oly xa and xa4 all the time.

Every time I have sold a camera I have regretted it, especially high end stuff like the Nikon F3.

yeah, I may have to replace that. Still can't believe I sold it. I was in a state where I thought I should pair down the collection. It didn't happen.
