My father bought a camera in 80s, very similar to this[1]. It was extensively used to capture our memories and we stopped using it around late 90s. However the camera stayed around, at one point my adolescent son used it as a toy, and it was rough handled. One day I saw it lying about the house and picked it up and tried to operate it. Almost every button was functional, spring operating perfectly, shutters open/close mechanism intact. It was as if still well maintained. No rust, and absolutely no mechanical malfunction. Even the camera roll counter aligned perfectly against the marker. I was astonished. I couldn't but marvel at the quality of Japanese engineered product. Not only was precisely built but it was also rugged and the material used oozed quality. Respect.
