I think my Dad had one of those. I had a Pentax K1000 for 3 weeks. While in the Navy I bought one in Hong Kong and then the next port we hit Singapore it was stolen. Did not bother with getting another camera for years.

My first SLR was a sturdy Yashica which was followed by the Canon A1. It gave a couple of years of fun until I started moving up to the Nikon F2 Photomics with MD12 motordrives and about 4 tons of lenses, filters, tripods, flashguns, battery packs and all that a gadget freak would dream of. My back-ups were the Nikon FM2, of which I carried around 3 and all with motordrives. Then I also snagged a Nikonos. So I guess I was the weirdest shutterbug on the block with all of thosesubtlelaugh.gif. They're all gone now and I just kept myself a mint condition FM2 as a memento to the past.

Simon, thanks for bringing this up.

You're welcome,Jeff.

I'm non judgmental therefore, I can't
really say that about being a shutterbug.

The Nikon F2 was the most versatile
camera that the company ever put on the market.

This camera had 3 motordrives in it's lifetime.
The MD-1,MD-2 and the later MD-3. There were 2 battery
packs the MB-1 (Holds 12 AA) and MB-2 (NiCad).

The MD-2 had a Single or Continuous frame for
shooting,were as both the MD-1 and MD-3 didn't
have this mode. (Needs to be confirmed).

Cheers,
Simon

The internal chassis of the Pentax K series,
were the same as those found on the
Spotmatic series.

When the M-42 thread mount
were being phased out, Pentax
simply re-used the old chassis
on the newer K-mount cameras.

Cheers,
Simon
