the spotmatic is one of the most beautiful pieces of industrial art ever made. i rank it with the swedish mauser m-96 rifle and winchester model 94 rifle.

Really nice, Tuco and stratman.
I believe the Spotmatic series is the best-looking SLR of all time.
I wish Asahi had built a rangefinder with the same sweet lines ...

I have an Auto Rikenon 50/2 in M42. I like the look it gives with black and swhite/landscapish things when I want a slightly dreamy quality ...

Eric did a fine job for me on my SP1000.

Here is my SP1000 with its covey of normal lenses: Super-Takumar 55/2, Meyer-Optik Oreston 50/1.8, Auto Rikenon 50/2, Fujinon 50/ 2.2. Not pictured is another S-T 55/2 that I bought knowing the aperture ring was stiff. Any pointers? It appears an impact gashed the ring, leasving an aluminum spur in there somewhere that makes dialing up small apertures tough. Other than that, it works just fine ...
