Re: A new poll: Your first pentax?

[Larry Levy]

Shortly before my first child was born in 1968, I upgraded from a very early 
('59) Olympust P&S to a Spotmatic. This is the first in a long line of 
Pentaxes that are capable of taking better pictures than I am. I've won 
awards with the Spotty and had pictures published in newspapers, but I'm 
proudest of my daughter having asked me to take her college yearbook picture 
with it.

It still works quite well. If I decide to use it, and want to avail myself 
of the metering capabilities, I just get a replacement battery at Radio 
Shack and the meter is as accurate as ever.

Strange. I bought each of our daughters an SLR when she graduated from high 
school (a Nikormat and a Ricoh). I don't think either even knows where it 
is.
