I went into Midwest today & met a nice gentleman. He was shopping around
for a 28/2 for his FE. We talked about photography (what else). He shot
a Spotmatic in the 60s. His face would light up at the mere mention of
SMC Taks, the 105/2.8 and the 85/1.9. (He said that the 85mm on his Spotmatic
was sharper than any of his Nikon or Leica lenses of the same vintage.)
His reason for leaving Pentax was multi-fold: He liked the feel of the longer
advance stroke on the older bodies, lost on the later K/M bodies.
The K bodies just didn't feel good to him. The M lenses just weren't up to
the older lenses' quality. So he got his FM2.
