Well I got my Sears SL-11 in. Was a little dirty, but last night I cleaned it up removed the old seals. Im running a quick roll through it just for testing and then ill replace the seals as soon as I find my sticky back felt. It went missing.

But the camera is in great shape! Works like a swiss watch. You can really tell its a finely crafted machine. All shutter speeds work, aperture fires nicely, and the lens was in pristine shape.

An excellent buy. Just holding it I can tell this camera will last a lifetime.

Lifetime cameras. Or working on it. Dad bought the Konica when I was 4 or 5. I got the Brownie for my 10th birthday. Both are still working.



You could aspire to a combination like this. I reckon they will outlive both of us.



Enjoy!

I definitely do aspire to a Leica. One day. One day.

I still have my Grandfathers Olympus PEN. It worked when I received it from my grandmother. (I never knew my grandfather)

I ran a roll through it once, then the shutter advance stopped working. Go figure.
