Beautiful example of this lovely classic. I don't have anything quite this old from Pentax.
Peter... great story!

It looks a great lens. Although I like the doggie, the bokeh in the foreground is very strange to my eyes.
Best wishes, Kris.

Great image Gary, and thanks for the beer!
I found a purveyor of film before I met up with Gary (on Sterling Street near Northbridge in Perth) but sadly no funny bazaars selling old film cameras. Yesterday was spent on Rottnest Island where I finished a roll of Ektar 100 and a 120 roll of Tri-X. Today I flew to Sydney. I'll be here until Weds. Not sure if I'll find a purveyor of old cameras here either but I'll try.
Cheers, Kris.

Note that the old Spotmatic cases are made of leather and last much better than the later cases for the M series cameras. The latter often suffer from severe surface flaking of the leatherette.

Hi Gary. Yup, loving the sunlight if not liking the price of beer I'll be in touch later in the week when I know my schedule.
Cheers, Kris.

One might think that you could get used to being here Kris. A good moonrise and long beak. I dislike gulls with a passion, good exposure on the critter though.
Best regards
