But none of this modern nonsense thank you. No sir, if you're going to go full frame; you have to get the camera that started it all; the Leica I.

Yep, that's my place; opens next month. Going to have a section for Pentax. There will just be card with "Ha Ha!" written on it.

I'm donating a shed load of M42 (rarely used) lenses.

Mostly Helios.

Presumably up in the attic !

I can donate a barely K-3 and some unused K-mount glass too.

Nice classic camera! Can you still get the film?

Indeed you can. In fact eBays largest supplier of film lives in Bangkok.

Why waste your time on full frame when bigger is better??! ! !

Now if someone can recommend a good neck strap for this baby I would be very grateful.

Beautiful, would love a camera like that; although it would be a challenge to get an image out of it.

Plenty of medium format options around (120 film); but bigger than that and it gets difficult. I have an 1896 Kodak that takes 101 film; which was phased out more than 50 years ago so I won't be shooting with that.
