Last time I checked, Leica rangefinder cameras had the most bombproof
shutters and film advance mechanisms going, and were capable of almost
unlimited exposure cycles without breaking down.
If you shoot a lot of film, a Leica can actually cost less in the long
haul because they never need replacing, they just don't wear out.
