Hi, I have the opportunity to buy a Pentax Spotamatic F.
Although I've enjoyed taking pictures with the digital, I feel that film has this quality which surpasses the digital print.
So, I've been thinking of picking up a film slr to complement my digital. Hopefully carry both bodies at the same time (I have a Pentax k50 already).
So, would the Spotamatic be worthwhile? It comes with 150/4 and 28/3.5, although I'm thinking that I would prefer a zoom lens that matches the kit on the k50. Primes are good, but I always feel that composition is more precise on a zoom.

For me, the whole point of using period cameras, is to use the lenses that came with it and in this case would be the Pentax M42 lenses, of which there are many.
