New Addition to my Arsenal
In an older post I talked about wanting a new camera. Well, I did not get a Leica or a Rolleiflex, but I did get an old film camera. Here it is, my Pentax Spotmatic with a 50mm f/1.4 and a 135mm f/3.5.
I will be testing this bad boy out with some film tomorrow with friend Terry. One of the other reasons I got this camera was because the lenses can easily be adapted to fit my Canon digital body. I have already played around with that and am very happy with it. Some of these older lenses are sharper than newer ones for a fraction of the cost. Of course there are some drawbacks like manual focus and aperture adjustments, but I like that stuff. Once I get some decent shots with these lenses I will put up the photos.
what year was this camera made?
That thing does look older than you.
I bet that thing is built like a truck. Not like these dainty little cameras out nowadays.
1960′s I am not certain but somewhere between 1964 and 1970.
