no-one is paying €90,000 to shoot with it, they're paying €90,000 because it's the "earliest known surviving production Nikon" and will round out their Nikon collection nicely.

saying you can think of a lot better gear which is over 60 years newer is kinda missing the point...
however in 60 years time, i think i know which i'd bet on still being in working order.
