Zenit E SLR

Is there any reason to prefer an 'E' to an 'EM'?Aren't they the same camera except for the meter & the automatic diaphram?Most of the meters on the EM's you'd find today are A couple of stops off ,of course,but the ability to focus with the lens wide open is a real convience!& you can't use a lens on an 'E' unless it can be stopped down manually!That excludes alot of lenses!I love Zenits,But give an 'EM' over an 'E' anyday.

Waite - You are correct, the main difference between the E and the EM is the ability of the EM to use auto-diaphragm lenses.
