Nice pair of classic Spotmatics. I am down to a Spotmatic F at the moment but I am having fun with my SV, S1a and K.

I know some have seen my safari K1000, it's got real snake on it. My wife says it's too snakey for her.  |

Very nice Bill.
A little trivia here. I'm sure everyone remembers the old Matt Helm spy movies with Dean Martin? Well, the official camera of those movies was the Pentax Spotmatic, you'll see "Matt" using them quite often in the movies, and his "cover job" was that he was a Photographer.

thanks for the interesting trivia Randy Looks like product placement was around in the late '60s.

Some great looking Pentaxs in this thread. I have used some and found them and their lenses very good. They and the early OM1s have always been interesting to me.

I'd like to think that the Pentax in the Martin flicks was there by chance, without any sort of endorsement deal. But perhaps I'm hoping the past was more innocent than it actually was.
