[QUOTE="STM, post: 559210, member: 12827"] The 250 exposure back was never meant to be a "walking around" rig. It was intended for extended remote photography or for situations like school photos where you would be handling a large number of images at one time. My F2 is a circa 1974 camera. Back then the first 2 digits of the serial number was the year the camera was made. I worked an entire summer and saved every penny and bought one new. I bet in the last 42 years I have put close to a mile of film through that camera and it has only been to the shop twice in all of that time for a CLA. Today's digital cameras are almost meant to be [I]disposable[/I]. New technology, toss the old one in the trash or sell it to some sap on Ebay. Where do you think all of the D5's will be 40 years from now? Stuffed in a box in the attic or in a landfill somewhere. But the timeless classics like the F2 continue to solider on..................
