And oddly enough my K1000 from 1978 also has a dent on the Pentaprism - how it got it is lost in the mists of time.

No metal camera worth its salt hasn't been dropped on the sidewalk.

And with a sharp dent in the prism area...

No that's just another battle scar... like Nikon owned by Sir Donald McCullin.

My ancient and still beloved Praktica LTL has a major dent/gouge scar on its base plate via a sidewalk stumble decades ago. It still works! Commie cameras endure!

My Nikon F2a was dropped from a school desk in high school to the tile over concrete floor - big dent on the bottom plate - pristine elsewhere. LOL. Worked until it was retired.
