What did you buy it for? The electronics within that body are aging whether
it sits in a box or you get the joy of using it. I would use it as a
"fairweather" camera (perfect weather conditions only). But I would use it.
Lousy
weather/conditions, take your battery-eatin' 4 and an extra user 50/1.8 out to
take the abuse.
Or... you could sell it to somebody else who might never use it; or might
trash it. YOU own it. Why not carry it with pride and enjoy it?
