Gold Spotmatic
Probably stuck unused in some collection somewhere.
I'll have a search through mine. These things can so easily be forgotten or overlooked.

Wherever it is, I hope it's in a sealed box where nobody can see how ugly it is.
Jonathan - perhaps in its day it was the original "sex-machine"..!! LOL!!
No, its alloy through and through, but it was/is a true gold performer though, sorry that was a bit cheesy.
Take care.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Unfortunately I have to rely on results speaking for themselves...
The magazine that is.

I remember going in for that Competition -- I had a black Spotmatic at the time I later gave to a girl friend who broke my heart by going off with a divorced Policeman -- they live down the road from me here now and she sends a Christmas card ! Then I got Wife No. 2 to whom I gave an MX and she went off with the Vice-Chairman of Barking Photographic Society and took the MX ,a 120mm f2.8 SMC-Pentax-M and Sigma 400mm f5.6 -- now wife No. 3 is NOT British origin-- she is Filipina and I got her a NIKON !!!
Peter - I spot a pattern here, bud!!. Stop giving cameras to the babes!!.. Flowers and a box of chocs is de rigeur, mate!!
