This is an old friend of mine also. My first body was a "71 Spotmatic which later turned into a couple K1000's. Their fully functional today. Pat

I'll bet more people learned photography using one of these than just about any other camera out there.

Nice shot...and it still looks so modern; all it needs is a card slot.:-)

A very nice clear shot. I had an almost never used Minolta SRT201 that I sold complete with 3 lenses for $50.

Oh wow, I have several similar Pentax SLR's and I loved them. My first one was an H3 and bore the Honeywell name.

An old friend indeed...this was also my first camera. My Dad bought it for me in Junior High for our class trip to D.C. I think I'm going to go dig it out...
