My good mate, Math, recently gave me his old Konica FC-1 film SLR (thanks mate!!). It is circa 1980, so a good 33 years old. I brushed of some of the dust, bough four new batteries (small little watch types), put the 50mm f/1.7 lens on, and away she went. Can't imagine that digital SLR's will still work 30+ years from now....the sensors simply decay and stop working.

| The 50mm lens produces wonderful out-of-focus areas, resulting in my favorite photo of me (ever)...not that I am in photo's that often. |
