Was browsing through a local antique shop a while back and spotted a familiar looking item- a 400mm Spiratone telephoto like the one that I had decades ago. Then yesterday in a camera shop, in a display case, was a Mamiya/Secor SLR, my very first SLR. Brought back lots of good memories.

I still have my operable Mamiya Secor 1000 DTL; but never had a Spiratone.

The Spiratone 400 F/6.3 is a T mount and will work on most Dslr's I use mine a couple of times a year. - Dave

I also still have the Spiratone and a mount for my Canons. I very seldom use it, buts it's still a monster in terms of length.

That would be a dangerous situation if i had cash on me.
I’d love to have some of my old gear just for sentemental reasons. Never had the Mamiya 35mm slr, but I think I sold some when I worked at the base exchange.

I have a Soligor 600mm f/8 glass lens. It’s a T-2 Mount so I can loan it to both Canon and Nikon guys. Great for B&W but color is terrible. Just fun to use.
