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.

	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.

We shook hands and each headed for our cars. He jumped out waving the camera, and asked if I would like to take it. Taken aback, I hesitated, but agreed. I heartily thanked him. I made a promise to myself that if I ever got it to work properly I'd send him a check. Chrome.

	Zeiss Ikon: Contina-matic II (529/24)	1958-1959	126474724	2018		Found this in an out of the way corner of an antiques mall. The pristine milk chocolate colored case caught my eye. What was inside did not disappoint. It was in near mint condition with a functioning meter. It was a great ride home.
