Originally posted by reh321 I’m not so sure about your “chances are” statement. According to Wikipedia, this camera is contemporaneous with my “Super Program” which l purchased new in 1983 and used for the next twelve years. It has sat around ever since then. has never received any “love” except my cleaning the outside a year or so ago after someone commented how ”filthy” it was becoming, but it worked fine the last time I ran a roll of film though it last year.
My "chances are" comment was based on the condition of my Super Program's seals as well as both of my 1982-vintage Ricoh XR7 bodies when I took possession.* Of course, YMMV. As it turns out the FM2's seals did prove to be needing replacement. When was the last time you did the toothpick test on your Super Program?
