Congratulations, Sid. Welcome to the Electro Spotmatic club. > Well, the camera arrived and as soon as I put the battery in, that > meter leaped up and performed like a circus animal.
But, Sid, how well are circus animals at metering ??? ;-) > Now, the curious accessory: the Asahi pentax everready case: also > in mint condition, but brown. I've always seen black ones. Anyone > else seen one in brown leather? I believe that's the standard Electro Spotmatic case. I have seen two of 'em, both with Electro Spotmatics. See http://www.cetussoft.com/pentax/electrosp2.jpg The case also has an extra deep cut-out to the side of the lens to allow for the protruding battery chamber. (A regular Spotmatic case doesn't have that.) Fred
