3mmm   ?  hmmm :-)

My first pentax was the 1000 with th standard recommended combo of lenses to cover everything... 50,28,135  the 28mm instead of the 35mm was suggeted to me but I can't remember who clue me about it..it was a great decision.  I still have that 28mm I bought in 1975.

I purchased my spotty from a PX in the far East.

I was looking for a Minolta 101 SLR, which a friend had let me try, but it
was sold out.  The PX camera guy said that Asahi made the best glass in the
world, and also showed me ads that indicated Honeywell was selling it under
its own name in the states,  Those two factors led me to buy the Asahi
Pentax Spotmatic, with 3 lenses, 50mm,3mmm and a 135mm, with a set of
filters.

Since regular TV is so terrible these days, I have been binge-watching
some
of my old favorites from previous decades.

Tonight was an old episode of Six Feet Under, from the second season.
Claire Fisher was planning to attend an arts school, and working on her
portfolio.  She breaks out her camera, and it's an ASAHI Pentax,
clearly labeled as such.  Looks just like the spotty I purchased back in
1967!
That was what I bought back then, the S1A, with bellows and slide copier.
I was stationed in Italy with a guy in security who'd make regular trips to
Japan and I tasked him to bring me all that stuff on one trip, which he
did, and I think I didn't pay a whole lot for it - much less than for a
Honeywell-branded spotty, at any rate.
