Thanks everybody for your very helpful replies. I did not know that Nikon bodies have a focus indicator also for manual-focus lenses just like the Canon bodies. The Canon-manufactured focusing screens were also unknown to me.
I have an AI-S Nikkor 50/1.2, an AI Micro-Nikkor 55/3.5 and an SL-II (which is equivalent to AI-P) Voigtländer 20/3.5.
The most logical choice would be a full-frame body, otherwise the 20/3.5 is a bit wasted.
The full story is that I just got rid of my whole m43 kit, because I enjoyed shooting with a film-based little SLR much more than looking at the rear screen of a digital camera. And now I feel the urge for a digital body that allows similar operation (that is, mainly having a good OVF and being relatively light-weight). Later on, I might add one or two auto-focus prime lenses.
That said, the Nikon D600 looks like a good match, but the Canon 6D does not look bad either, being 100 grams lighter and offering first-party replacement focusing screens.
Thanks again for all of your replies,
Thomas.
