danac Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 My first camera was a Spotmatic purchased in Tokyo in 1969. I loved that camera! I seem to have taken my best images with it. The camera and lenses were stolen in 1979. I have never gotten over it. I simply have to own one again before I leave this world. It has to be like new though as that's how I remember mine. The Canon AE-1 that replaced it is forty-one years old and looks like it just came out of the box for the first time. That is how to take care of things you love. The examples on eBay look like they were dragged out of the bargain bin barrel at the local pawn shop. Someone somewhere must have a well loved or at least well liked, well cared for Spotmatic that they're willing to part with. That's the camera I want preferably a chrome body. The model would be the simple SP with the screw on M42 lens mount not the II or F. A book's a great place to hide out in - Trevanian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
