My good old Pentax H3V seems to be at the end of its life; the last repair
didn't even last through one roll of 36 exposures!  I'd appreciate informa-
tion on net readers' repair and reliability experiences with 35 mm cameras.
I lean towards getting a Nikon, but it's so expensive; another Pentax is a
possibility, but most of all, I want to know what is reliable, durable, and
has almost no down-time.  MTBF between 5 and 10 years would seem good to me.
Thank you.
