Shel mentioned earlier that he has an M3 and M2. Both were likely made 
in the late 50's or early 60's. That's 40+ years. It works out to about 
11,000 frames a year if it was made in 1961. I'm currently shooting 
about 6-8000 frames a year, (I did about 5000 frames of film last year, 
and am shooting more this year) 11,000 frames a year is easily in reach 
for someone who shoots regularly.

That's also a weekend for some wedding shooters I know.
