The old contaxes, Zeiss, rollei, Yashica etc keep going strong
they need exercise but keep ticking
Also the old Nikons and Pentaxes (70s) work fine too, even though they need a CLA every 10 years or so.
The cameras from the 80s (mostly Pentaxes; and Minoltas) are giving up the ghost....
The shutter doesnt cock after winding, and I end up winding 5-6 frames before being able to shoot again
