That’s about the same time I got mine.

Ah, forgot about that. I still have (and use frequently) some 3021 legs and a 3047 head. I bought them new in ... '94? Dave

SpiderMonkey Senior Member  More info | Jun 10, 2022 22:18 | #20 I have a Pentax K-1000 that my dad bought brand new when it first came out, my dad taught me how to use it and before long I was using it more than him and so he gave it to me. This camera has been in my possession for 45-46 years now and I still use it to this day, I’ll keep and use it until I can no longer push the shutter button or I die, whichever comes first and then it will be passed to my daughter who also enjoys photography. As you can see, I still have the original case, manuals, flash, lenses and filters it came with, even have some original lens cleaning paper.

SpiderMonkey Senior Member More info | Jun 10, 2022 22:39 | #21 This is my AE-1 Program Black Body, bought in Hong Kong, actually Kowloon, in 1984, still use it regularly to this day. Funny story about this camera, I had walked into one shop and inquired about an A-1, the guy pulled it off the shelf and handed it to me, I liked it and asked how much, he told me the price and I said okay, I’ll take it, instead of selling it to me, he put it back on the shelf and refused to sell it to me because I insulted him. What the heck? Turns out that by me accepting the price he was insulted because I didn’t barter the deal with him. I ended up going to another shop still wanting the A-1 but they were out of the A-1’s so I “bartered” for the Black Body AE-1 Program.

I admire you that you have been able to keep this camera and everything with it looking like it is still BRAND NEW!! Charles
