That's the point. I wouldn't buy something I couldn't shoot for the fear of devaluing it.
I collect film cameras. Most of mine are run of the mill Leicas so not terribly valuable but they won't depreciate if properly cared for & you can actually use them.
This is my "daily". Not a lot of value here. The body is worth about $1,500 and the lens maybe $2,000 on a good day.
Then you have to Pro Collectors who go after the ultra rare Black Paint MP, M3, M2, M4 Leica's.
Very collectible and valuable but most haven't seen a roll of film in decades.
Something like this. Original "black paint" Leica MP with matching Summicron. (Values vary but you could easily pay $50,000 for a combo like this)
