I reckon the Zeiss problem is that it's the sprocket-cokking type and they don't understand. That also releases the shutter lock, same as on the folding Contessa. I posted the K2 as (at least earlier) there were no bids, and sometimes things start off at a higher price but get little or no attention. Not sure about the Spotmatic, it's an earlier model than the K1000 so probably. The earlier ones didn't have open aperture metering, the F onwards did/ I don't know, it just caught my eye.
