Spotmatic? II or F?

Okay, this is kind of weird, but instead of getting a MX to stay hanging around this list (being a semi-Canon defector), I've been thinking about a Spotmatic. Screwmount lenses also will fit on my Elan 7e, so not so weird as all that. A Zenitar fisheye would work on both. And I already have the

I remember noticing this maybe 15 years ago. I just thought that I was getting old, or that one eye was irritated. Apparently everyone has a dominant eye, mine is my left eye, and it appears cooler than my right eye, which does seem to have a noticeable warmer tint to it. rg graywolf wrote:
