Then I just gave up. It's just not so practical...
I used to have Pentax LX*2 ME Super, Program Plus, Auto 110, Canon

if interested. A Pentax Spotmatic is one of the users, and I have an
aftermarket screwmount bellows which is a lot of fun for macro stuff. My

My collectors aren't collectors because they're worth anything. Quite the
contrary. The A was my father's, and
Actually, 3. I forgot the Spotmatic II which was bought more for Pentax
