No wonder there are so many near mint examples on ebay. IMHO, a near mint to mint chrome spotmatic for $100-150 has got to be one of the greatest photographic values out there. BTW, I just scored another MINT black one off ebay for $275. What a jewel. The black ones are so pretty when theyre mint with no brassing...I wonder how much it would cost to make a spotmatic today in Japan???? JCO - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
