I bet it feels neglected being stuck in a dark drawer the rest of the year. I have film cameras that I never use, and I know they feel sad. 
I sold my Nikon Film Camera online for $50.00 soon after I got my Digital Nikon D3300 Camera. I should have waited, it my have gone up in value in 10-20 years as a Collectors item, My Grandchildren may have had a real Treasure.

Around 80 megapixels. But the negative can't easily be viewed directly so print-to-print, professional processing, maybe 20-40 megapixels? With better latitude, too?

My small leaf shutter SLRs are still working fine: Zeiss Contessa, Retina IIIC (large C), Retina Reflex III at the young age of 60 years.
The Reflex III is an SLR and you’ve been fortunate to have no problem. The others are not SLRs. Simple single action leaf shutters are verrrry reliable and durable.

I had read (somewhere?) that 35 mm Kodachrome ISO/ASA 25 was equivalent to about 20 megapixel. The resolution declines as the ASA/ISO goes up. Don't know how reliable that number might be. Does that include calculation regarding the Beyer Mask. The Beyer Mask of a 24 megapixel chip is actually a confusing calculation, since that 24 megapixel chip is composed of 12 MP of green, 6 MP of Red and 6 MP of Blue. Since we were taught to think of a pixel as single cell representing R, G and B, the 24 MP chip is actually somewhere around 8 MP, but a bit higher if the image is rich in Green. What is the nominal number of "RGB true" pixels? Can anyone clarify this?
This problem was part of the motivation to develop a "Pixel Shift" camera, as in the SONY A7R4, where every "pixel" is a true RGB representation. Since the chip is acquiring a 14 bit depth dynamic range for each color, does it average the two green values of the Beyer Mask? Or does it retain the individual green cells of each "pixel".

This morning’s shot, with a pretty good winter camera that easily stays warm in a pocket. Unlike a folding film camera, you all can see the shot immediately wherever you are.
One of the winter-worthy qualities of this camera is that it fits through the slats in the window blind so you don’t hafta go out in two feet of snow to get the shot.
Thaz my car and I plan on digging it out in a few days.

That’s a nice illustration of why I live on the Southern border of the typical snow line, and not farther North!

I have two old Mirandas in working condition. The lenses are hard to maintain, but along with its native mount, Mirandas accept M42. Also have two old Pentax cameras (p3n)... their lenses work fine on my K1.

Now that's a snow capital, Oswego!
