Bob,

the SP, SPII, SPF, and mantle-inheritor, the OM-1, are just such gems! With
judicious lens selection, one can get a very powerful setup for next to
nothing. Let's hope that the stuff doesn't go like the Nikon SP's. I
remember when you couldn't give them away, and now, they are up there in the
unobtainable pri$e range.

Interesting you should mention that. I use a couple of Spotmatics with a
15mm 
Pentax rectilinear lens and a couple of  more normal screw mounts in
addition 
to  my M and R systems. The look is different but the resolution is very
high 
with the Pentax stuff.
