New to the group, not new to Pentax

Nice to find this group the other day. My first 35mm camera was a K1000 bought in the mid 1970s. Later as an adult I had a 6x7 MLU and a few lenses. Now at age 64 I got the Pentax bug again and found a nice working Spotmatic SL, basically a meter-less Spotmatic. I remember my Uncle having this same model when I was just a kid in the late 60s. I look forward to shooting with this one soon.

I also use a 1938 Leica llla and a Fujica GS645s (45mm lens) medium format,

Eager to explore this group.

Thanks

Welcome from Virginia! The Spotmatic is a great camera—probably my favorite manual focus body.

Welcome! Pentax still has a lot of the character that other manufacturers seem to have lost.

H1A fan for life here. That and a 50f1.4 got me through the 70’s

I had less than the cost of a Spotmatic body invested in this ancient beast.
I did use my Luna Six far more than the “eye”


Hang up and DRIVE!
