The Spotmatic F will work fine with your Super Tak lenses. You'll meter
just as you would with a Spotmatic: by pushing the meter switch up with
the lens on the auto setting and stopped down to where you want to
shoot. The IIa is the same as a II with the exception of a built-in
sensor for use with a Honeywell Strobonar. I'd like to find one of these
cameras, since I have a potato masher Strobonar sitting on the shelf.
They're very powerful flashes but require the expensive and heavy
Everready 497 battery. (I think it's 515 volts. I know I got knocked to
the ground by touching it in the wrong place once.)
