When I bought my used IIIf it was in mint condition. The strap lugs had never even seen any rings in them. The camera was like a new car - once it got a bit of wear I could relax and get on with using like it wanted to be used. It was the same with my M3; no marks at the start, but now it shows 34 years of history, and they're all mine.
