I had a whole flock of SRT101's, 102's, a 200, and an XG something (fixed aperature automation).They were fine, and earned no shame, but they did wear out in several annoying ways, i.e. mirror stops wore, and I found that I could only focus accurately at one edge of the mirror, mind this is after a LOT of exposures.
Ditto some of the lenses were showing decentering.
This is why I bought a new set of cameras. I went with Nikon because, unlike most people, I liked the N70 controls, except for the lack of
DOF view, which is indeed (*&(&*( annoying sometimes.I also use a P67, but of course that's not for snapshots :)
