FTL, which to my eye looks/looked like they bought the bodies from Mamya, they used M42 lenses with
a proprietary open-aperture mechanism much like that from Mamya.

Playing, I put the 135 MM Olympus lens from my Ricoh on just to see
what it would be like and I was impressed with it more on the Pentax.
I seemed to be able to get a sharpper focus, but then again I have no
clue as to what I am doing as this is my first real foray into a non
digital non point and shoot camera setup.
Did I just read that right?
I wasn't aware that Olympus made M42-mount lenses....or that OM lenses could be adapted to M42 or K. If true, that opens up a whole new world....
As far as "sharper focus" goes, you might just be noticing the difference in the viewfinders of each camera; the Ricoh's viewfinder may just be darker than the Spotmatic's.
