Collection by PartsUnknown.

I've chosen to focus my collecting primarily on SLR's from the five major Japanese producers from the '60's, '70's, and '80's. This does not mean that I will turn my nose up at a beautiful Ziess Ikon Rangefinder from the '50's, or a working Kodak bellows camera from the '40's. Especially if the price is right.

	Asahi: Honeywell Heiland Pentax H3	1961	379255	2018		Purchased as a project. Sticky shutter. In good condition overall, came with the rounded attached meter. Haven't tested it. Not holding my breath. Purchased with a 55mm f1.8 Auto Takumar m42 lens. Chrome.
	Asahi: Honeywell Pentax Spotmatic (SP) II	1971	5076154	2007		Bought this at a charity sale. I called this bundle the "Basket-o'-Pentax." The Spotty was grouped with its step sibs, the ZX and the IQ. But for $35 I took it all. It is cosmeticly excellent with minor wear where you'd expect. The meter of course has stopped working. Purchased with the wonderful Takumar 50mm f1.4 Super-Multi-Coated m42.
	Asahi: Pentax IQ-Zoom 160	1996		2007		Part of that bundle.

This K1000 came with a Vivitar 70-150mm f3.8 Close-Up lens, along with my Olympus OM-1n, four Zuiko lenses and a Tamron Adapt-All zoom. Plus filters which I actually use, a set of three 49mm close-up filters (+1, +2, +3). All for $60. A good day.

	Olympus: Olympus OM-1 n	1979	1750283	2018		My much loved Oly. There is a belief that the camera body is there only to hold the film, and mount the lens. To a certain extent this is true, until you come to the Olympus OM-1. Far more than a platform. It creates an environment that makes you want to do great work. Chrome.
