I use most of my SMC Taks with my LX and PZ1-p. I can use them as intended with the ES and ESII bodies I own. I agree, the Spotmatic design is a classic. I sometimes wish that Pentax would issue a special limited edition of the Spotmatic. I see where some company has come out with a sub miniature Spotmatic that uses Minox film. Jim A.
