Well, it was a Spotmatic. I wanted one as a kid, but they were too expensive, and over the years I used a series of rangefinders and point and shoot cameras of varying quality.
A few years ago I was looking for a replacement for my wife's Canonet QL17 G-III (stuck shutter problem) and on a lark I bought a Spotmatic with a Super Takumar 50/1.4 from Cameta Camera off the web. The price of $59 was about 1/5 of what it cost new in 1968! It turned out to be a dud, but Cameta Camera was very good about exchanging it for one that worked. I remain amazed that a camera so good now costs less that a middling quality point and shoot. Aaron
