I use to collect Leicas. I was fortunate to have started when few persons
were doing this. Until the commemoratives started coming out, it was fun
searching for some elusive models. The introduction of commemorative Leicas
periodically ruined the searching. I met a man who owns some exotic old
screw mount Leicas, like the Leica 72 half-frame and the Leica 250 exposure
model. That was a treat.
As for Pentaxes, I have an old Pentax K and one Asahiflex waist level finder
slr.
