I have an f2 still that was my step mothers when she was a PJ in Portland. The Titanium shutter ripped in half.

The old contaxes, Zeiss, rollei, Yashica etc keep going strongthey need exercise but keep tickingAlso 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 againOn Wed, Apr 20, 2016 at 10:10 PM, <andpph@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:Pablo,I presume you are talking about cameras, eh?
