Taking pictures with a 60 year old camera can be fun. From time to time I grab one of the oldies and put a roll of film in.
Checking the exposure with an external meter, waist-level viewfinder, left is right and right is left, cocking the shutter before being able to set the right exposure time, manual focussing using the magnifier, then finally taking the picture. Not really applicable for taking snapshots. ;-)
Bad news is it takes more than a week to get the film developed.

Where have all the websites gone?

Ten years ago there were a lot of websites about old Pentax stuff available, now a lot of them just have disappeared, like Peter Jonkman's Spotmatic page, Fred Sherfy's concentric, the serial number database at m-fortytwo.info and a lot more.
Any ideas where they're all gone? Email me or leave a comment.
