That's very interesting. A German masterpiece. My first SLR was a Pentax S1a which I bought in 1962 when I was at university. It came with a SuperTak 55/2. Later I added a 135/3.5 & a Vivitar 2x TC. It served me well for about 20 years until the cloth shutter ripped. By then the Spotmatics

It was a VERY TINY, little, dingy camera shop the width of a door and a counter ... Maybe 10' wide (3m) and 25' or so deep (7.5m) although I think there was a back room. You walked in the door and there was a counter running the length of the right hand side; couple of hanging fluorescent

That's cool. My very first SLR, back when I was in college (1968), was a Praktica. It's been a long time, but I don't remember if mine had the "USSR Occupied" stamp on the back. Bought it from a hole-in-the-wall independent here in Raleigh; long since gone, I don't even think the hole is
