Hi Collin, I had the Pentax Spotmatic way back in 1978. Bought it 2nd hand in Paris from a pretty Nurse returning back to the Philippines from Canada. An excellent camera. Still have a few M42 Lenses. But the Goodwill Price is extremely high, as you can get one from KEH for much less. Regards.

Jackson, just south of Yellowstone is a charming little town (or it was when I visited). If you don't want to shoot what other tourists have done stay away from the geyser fields. I also found that if one was willing to hike a few hundred yards from the parking lot, most of the crowds had thinned
