Are you sure about that?  I can't get to Peter Jonkman's Spotmatic page
to check, but that clashes with my recollection.  My first SLR (which I
purchased with my very first paycheck from my first full-time job) was
a Spotmatic II (with the 50mm 1.4).  I thought that the Spotmatic F came
along a few months later (although I resisted the temptation to move to
newer models until the MX came along).
