I believe the longest production run probably goes to the Nikon F-3 (1980;
still in production), Pentax K-1000 or Canon F-1 (if you include the
improved one and the new one). The sales numbers of the Canon F-1 and
Nikon F-3 probably do not come close, but the Pentax K-1000 may easily be a
contender for highest production numbers (it was finally discontinued a
year or so ago). I believe the Canon AE-1 and AE-1P still hold Canon's
records for the highest production numbers of any of their SLR's.

Hi!
I don't think so.
The most popular is Minolta X-700.
It has been producing from 1982
up today.
Now in 2001 its production is finished.
Best photos,
