Pentax Spotmatic II
Circa 1973. I suppose that almost every photographer takes a photo such as this at sometime or another, especially in the age of film. Often enough during that era, amateurs such as myself would take some semi-waste shots just to get to the end of the roll!
In most of the world, this camera would be an Asahi Pentax. In the US, it was Honeywell Pentax as this one was. The lenses said Asahi though.
With a mechanically-operated shutter, aperture and focus, the button cell battery powered only the built-in TTL light meter.
Acquired after graduating from high school using money earned from a Summer job, I used it quite a bit while in college.
