Mid-seventies - yeah - I had a Nikkormat and then an FM and finally a nice
used F2. What's around second hand can be misleading - it tends to show the
best survivors rather than the best sellers. That can be the tough ones
(Spotties) or the ones that didn't get much use. Incidentally, there was
also a Pentax MG.
I'm still in the market for a copy of the Beano but preferred aniseed balls
myself.
