Just received my Pentax Spotmatic SP F with a Takumar 55mm lens from kamerastore.com

It is gorgeous, they do take good care about those devices, tell you honestly what’s good and bad about every units (may be older than you, one should take it as a part of the experience)

For sale to a good home. Pickup in Montreal, Canada only. #pentax #spotmatic

Has all these fancy lenses including the super rare radioactive one. Has the 135mm zoom and so on. With all these gorgeous old leather cases and even the branded strap.

New film photos are in the pipeline!

Finally, I have been well enough to get out and about and take some film photos! I spent a week in Guájar-Faragüit and a week in Capileira taking photos with my #Mamiya C220 and #Pentax #Spotmatic. I am now back, developing and scanning the films.

I am taking this opportunity to review my workflows and websites, so there are a lot of changes. Further updates soon...

I've found (I hope, don't have it in-hand yet) a third option for medium-format #Zeiss glass on #SLR #camera bodies. FotoDiox has the #adapter here (P6-Canon EF) which needs to be that long, apparently. They've a similar option for #Nikon F.
Today I found an option out of the UK (Harblei), puts #Pentacon 6/ Kiev 60 lenses on #Pentax #Spotmatic M42 screw-mounts (which famously cannot use other lenses). A P6-M42! And supposedly its distance/ height will not affect the #length of the #lenses(!)

My latest Zeiss lens arrived, 35mm multi-coated goodness. Finally found converters so the Canon (EF mount) lenses can come here to the M42 screw mount & vice versa. I’m only on frame 19 which is great - been using my SMC (SUPER Multi Coated LOL) Asahi (Pentax) #Takumar 55mm lens so far this roll, which is radioactive, thank you very much.

I chose the Pentax #Spotmatic for its M42 mount (Zeiss made lenses for it) & the fact that so many made lenses for it. Plus it works at all shutter speeds w/o a battery, you only need one for the *TTL* light meter (new *thru the lens* capability). Asahi/ Pentax sold 4 million of these, more than Canon & Nikon combined (drops mic -- you should never drop a mic). '64-76 time range includes the "compact" (35% smaller) #Canon/ #Nikon/ #Olympus/ Minolta super popular TTL SLRs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentax_Spotmatic
