Spotmatic F and Spotmatic 1000.
Both are great.

[jeverettfine]

As far as Pentax is concerned, I only have a black KX body right now. Usually with an SMC-A 35-70 F/4 attached for walking around (sometimes my FA 20-35 or just a 50 1.4).
Of course there is my Leica M-6 with 24 Elmarit-M, 35 Summicron, 50 Summilux. and 90 Elmarit-M

Otherwise, it is the new K-3 etc.

[JonE]

Honeywell Pentax Spotmatic S/N 3811464

[pickles]

Spotmatic SP11 & ES11, both black, no brassing, & in mint condition. ES11 serviced bt Eric.
Pickles.

[nickthetasmaniac]

MX - in-use
Spotmatic SP - gifted new to my Mum on her 21st. Used occasionally but awaiting a full restoration.

[silhouette53]

I have an MX which I bought new in 1981 and photographed my two daughters when each was born, plus all the usual 'other' pics over the years - holidays etc etc. Acquired various lenses - 85mm f/2, 200mm f/4, 135mm Takumar and the standard 50mm f1.7 which came with the body of course.

I went digital 18 months ago at the ripe old age of 60 but bought Nikon ( sorry )

I would never get rid of my Pentax 35mm gear though, it has too many memories attached. I haven't used it in years but I got it all out a few days ago and marveled at how small the MX is really, compared to the big ugly Nikon D700 I use now. Considering getting some B&W film and taking it out for a trip down nostalgia road.

Don't be surprised if you find yourself reattaching to the MX, cleaning it and putting in new seal and bumpers. Soon you will forget the Nikon.

Hi Arnold
Yes indeed, there is that possibility I think, but the digital age has gotten people used to seeing images instantly and they can just fire off as many shots as they want without being selective at all. Film makes you think about what you're doing by comparison, which can only be a good thing. I only recently became aware of a US street photographer named John Free and would love to go on one of his organised shoots when he is next in England
