When I think of the word 'classic' in connection with cameras, I immediately
think of anything M42 or perhaps K2s other early bayonette fitting

Things used to last, to be a sense of joy and pride for many years as our
possessions became classics. Digital equipment has changed all the rules.

It is a much debased term today -- an in the first annual
Bulwer-Lytton/William Robb photographic cliché classic.

Well, in the car world there are:

Classic Cars --20+ years old,
Veteran Cars --30+,
Vintage Cars --40+

Hi,
When one has a group of 4 increasing larger, let's say coffee,
containers and the smallest of the group is called Giant, well, all
comparison is lost, isn't it.
A good way to market condoms, perhaps. As for coffee, the smallest (or
