Is There No Hope For Me?

Went to the International Antiques Fair at Ardingley today. At the second stall (and there were over 2000) I stopped at I spotted this case with Pentax across it. Inside was a camera with LS on it and a Super Takumar 55mm up front - both in excellent condition.
As I have absolutely no use for a film camera I of course walked on.

About 3 hours later It hadn't gone and I thought; I have a number of Takumar lenses but I don't have a Super Tak......This is the third time so far this year I have succumbed.
Is there really no cure?

No cure known to man

Just don't go on ebay after a few beers - I ended up with a Pentax M 28mm f3.5mm last week because of this
K10D, K5 plus plenty of clueless enthusiasm.

I'm curious too - is it possibly SL or even ES :

Sorry about that - I was completely knackered by the time I got home and read it up-side-down..

It is of course a SL with a threaded body, which must be quite old, my first Pentax was, I think, a S1 which I bought pushing 50 years ago?
