At the risk of veering off topic, in addition to various hardware I described above, I also have a vintage Pentax t-shirt. If memory serves correct, this was created around the time the ES II was released in Canada and features an image of the camera on the front, and says Asahi Pentax across the back. I can't recall where I got it from (dealer or trade show?). Still, a curiosity related to a specific film camera.

I've got 9 M42 bodies, 9 K-mount bodies, a 645 and a couple of 6x7s (MLU) for a total of 21 plus 30 lenses. The first 'collected' is my original Spotmatic w/f1.8 55mm (1970) and my father's Spotmatic which is about a year older. Nothing wildly exotic (no gold or diamond covered stuff). Somehow I have 3 MEFs, one with a mirror that looks like someone tried to remove it with a dinner fork. Apart from maybe 4, these all function. I've taken some lenses apart to deal with lubrication problems and to clean out a 55mm that somebody spilled Coke on. Other 35mm film cameras include Edixa, Mamiya Sekor, Miranda, Ricoh, Yashica, and there's some bigger gear (KOWA 66, Linhof and Koni-Omega 100). Original Pentax accessories include an original Copipod in the plastic sleeve and a traditional copy stand, adapters, etc. Too much, yes. Then there's the darkroom equipment (why else would you shoot film?) starting with my first Durst 609 (circa 1970) up to a Durst 138S (just in case Pentax decides to build a 5x7" view camera . . .). Finally, I must confess to not using this collection nearly enough, but I do have the best of intentions!
