Not really fair - I handle OM-1 contemporaries frequently (so called
'student' cameras) such as Nikkormats, Canon FT's, Minolta SRT's and
they're all seriously solid and could probably pulverise an OM. The Leica
M3 I once owned was as close to a solid lump of metal as anything I've
handled and could probably destroy an M6. So? Does any of this indicate
reliability? If so, then Russian cameras will live forever and perform
flawlessly. :)
