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.
