Sorry. That appears to be about 2,222 rolls of 36 exposure film. Now if I
leave my OM to my youngest nephew and he has children...
Actually, years ago when they had Nikkormats and Nikons and they published
articles on things like this, it seems like the professional Nikons were
robotically tested to 400,000 exposures and the Nikkormats to 250,000. Did
they have cloth shutters then?
