Hi, James,

Yeah, I've seen several shots of the Beatles around '63 or '64, with Pentaxes
around their necks - the ones I've seen looked like a pre-Spotmatic non-metered
model.  I've also seen shots of various English Royals from about that time
period with Pentaxes in hand.

Back in the days when Pentax and N**** were duking it out for slr supremacy.
Sigh...  <g>

regards,
frank
