Nice shot---the colors in the lens are cool. I can't believe how good it still looks! My first SLR was a Honeywell Pentax H1a, bought in 1965, which looked very much like this. It had no internal light meter, but I bought the clip-on meter that sat atop the prism and interlocked (via a pin) with the shutter speed dial. It served me well until I upgraded to a Nikkormat in 1972.

Looks to be in good shape. I still have mine. Even drove over it once, by accident. Still works fine but has a small light leak that I have to compensate for.

This was my first SLR in the 70's. Your phot brings back good memories. It is a nice product shot, too.
