Magazine Moan

Have just finished reading the latest magazine, and I was annoyed by Peter Bargh's editorial. According to it, Pentax never made an SLR before the *istD. Just where has been living, Mars? Has he never heard of the Spotmatics, K1000, etc.. Best bit was John Riley's article on the SF cameras. Somebody should point out to Peter that it is an SLR and it needs film!

Peter B is a mere stripling compared to some of us. He probably meant the *ist D was Pentax's first SLR in his lifetime.

Peter Bargh is also the Boss of this site. He knows a lot about all things Pentax.
If you look him up in the Team section of the Home tab, you will see he talks about using a Spotmatic. I therefore think the subject of you annoyance would be a typo.

I think he, or the proof readers/printers just left off the D.

I'm sure that Pete is well versed in Pentax SLR photography, so it will simple be a typo.
