The S1a is very common, unlike the S1. This was my first Asahi Pentax M42 body Smile

Hello:

I present to them two photos of the camera. The lens that it has is an old 28mm-3,5 bought in Spain (Europe).

I am grateful to them for the information that they have given me about this nice pattern. It is so charming as my Spotmatic and Spotmatic 2. I knew a professional photographer who was using this model.

Bests Regards: David
