I was introduced to Pentax SLRs when my dad got an HV3 when we were stationed overseas in the Philippines. Had the clip-on light meter. The Spotmatic was just being introduced.

I started out with the SP500 and SP1000 models then went with the Kmount equipment - ME, MX, Super Program and K-1000 in the '70s and early '80s.

Don't shoot that much anymore but will put up some of my earlier work in the galleries when I get back later tonight from a meeting.

Welcome to the forum, from your earlier works you'd be hard pressed to date, they could have been taken yesterday.
