The Pentax ES Strikes Back

A few months ago, I got my paws on a 40 year old Pentax ES, complete with a SMC Takumar 55mm f/2 lens. Essentially, the ES is the refined version of the Electro-Spotmatic. Word on the street is that early Electro-Spotmatics had some reliability issues, so Pentax had to fix them before launching the product globally. The ES is the result of that effort.
