Spotmatic F- Shameless Camerap0rn

Just realised I don't have a proper picture of my trusty Asahi Pentax Spotmatic F. Here with the lengendary Takumar Super-Multi-Coated 50mm f1.4 mounted.

 

Recently CLA'ed, works as good as new. This one is definately a keeper.

 

The spotmatic is the main body for my M42 lenses. The Takumar is accompanies by various excellent lenses such as the Carl Zeiss Jena 35mm f2.4 Flektogon, and the Jupiter 9 85mm f2. Plus various Tamron adaptall lenses such as the 24mm f2.5 and the excellent 90mm f2.5.

 

I have more or less three film SLR outfits- Spotmatic (M42), Nikon FE2 (Nikkor), and Olympus OM1 (OM). The Spotmatic is purely for pleasure of shootin, the Nikon for demanding work, and the OM1 for lightness. This has meant a seriously slimming down on my 'other' cameras, such as numerous Rangefinders like the Bessa R2, which have been sold. Main reasons being I tend to shoot wide, close, and fast, and the price of the lenses for RF is just too prohibitive. I rather invest in some decent lenses for my 40D.
