Had a vintage Nikon shutter spring snap right in my hands yesterday. Took me four hours to find a donor part from a 1978 model.

That's the kind of luck I have with old gear. Spent a whole weekend fixing a lens only to drop the screwdriver and scratch the front element. Classic move right there.

That's the hidden cost of vintage gear they never talk about. You're not just paying for the camera, you're buying into a future scavenger hunt for parts. Makes you appreciate modern manufacturing, even if it lacks the soul.
