Agree. I have a Rollei TLR my father passed on to me back in about 1955,
after he had used it for many years. Of no interest for collecting
purposes -- too much external wear from being used and banged about
while being carried without adequate protection -- but a joy to use and
as functional as the day it was new. I still dig it out and use it
occasionally. I wonder if anyone will be using a new Pentax (or any
other brand) 60 or 70 years from now.
