Pros: Small, light (for the times), indestructible, fantastic optics

Cons: they don't do it anymore.....

Opinion: I owned this camera many years ago with a triad of Takumar lenses for those absolutely standard times (28, 50 and 135 mm), sold to switch to another great classic (Nikon FM, which I still have and use from time to time). The Soptmatic, together with the Leica M, was the classic machine of adventure photojournalists at the turn of the 60s and 70s and the magazine Fotografa had included it in the ideal kit of the travel reporter. Small and for those times very light allowed you to shoot with great speed. He had a great set of goals all very good. Very nice memories. In one of my gallery I inserted some photos taken with the Spotmatic https://www.juzaphoto.com/me.php?pg=283899&l=it They are those of "Giovanna" while for "Francesca" I used the legendary Nikon Ftn, splendid but transportable only with sherpas, for this reason I never wanted it preferring spotmatic and then FM
