In was given a 1970's Asahi Pentax Spotmatic F with three lenses and the bellows attachment -- I don't think I have shown these on this site -- they were taken on the River Thames on outdated 2007 Fuji Acros 100 with various PENTAX Takumar lenses and an Orange filter as the day was overcast ( as usual when we go out !)

I think the "Palace of Westminster" shot especially good.

I love the Spotmatic. I have one, and a 28mm f3.5, 50mm f1.4 and 200mm f4 lens set for it. Great camera, and still an uncommonly smooth focusing ring, I think one of the smoothest ever made.

A Spotmatic and some Takumars, it doesn't get much simpler, or better. Cool
