Will it live forever.

[Hamster]

I have just spend the holiday afternoon fixing a few problems on my trusty Zorki, it sort of occured to me that this camera, given it's simplicity and ease of making aftermarket parts, as well as being a non-collector item which gaurantee a nearly limitless supply of cheap cannabisable body out there, will literallt live forever given film is still available.

My questions is, what other camera do you think will live forever?

Leica M, Nikon F, Pentax Spotmatic & K1000, Canonet... 🙂

Any moderately well maintained large format camera, plus the above.

Mechanical Leicas.

and my Bronica because I'll hire a cryogenics company to preserve it's living parts.

Nothing lives forever; not even the Sun. Some Leica Ms may still be around until the Earth melts, though. That and a few Nikon FMs and Canon F1s

 

[Kin Lau]

The plastic bodied, so called "recycleable" cameras that no one recycles currently sitting in a landfill.

Nothing lives forever; not even the Sun ...

A lot of people get upset when you tell them that. 😀
