I recently bought an Asahi Takumar 17mm f4 fisheye lens and Today I got out to see what it can do. Fairly typical of fisheye lenses.

In 1969 I was using one of the last of the Pentax S1 cameras, that I'd bought somewhere around 1965, and I was saving my pathetic photographic assistant's wages in anticipation of trading it in on one of those cool new Spotmatics...

A mix of the AP, S and K. The AP was first introduced in 1957.
If the Nikon F (previous post) was the camera that had a major impact on the world of professional photographers, then the Pentax AP, followed later by the the Spotmatic, helped changed the world for serious amateur photographers.
Photographed with a Helios 40.
Had to get this repaired as the meter wasn't working. Eric Hendrickson, the Pentax repair wiz, is the go-to guy for all matters Pentax in the USA.
This Electro Spotmatic is kind of cool - using SMC or S-M-C lenses there's open aperture metering and aperture priority exposure automation. It has a hot shoe. Oh and the coolest thing, if you move the shutter dial to the second auto, two little curtains slide across the view finder!
