I was about to say the same thing.  I really liked a couple of the 
photos towards the end of the set especially the lady on the phone with 
the soft background.  This one: 
http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=8391630 and the next. 

I had a neighbor, when I was young, who had a couple of those 
Pentacons.  I remember them as very solid but very basic cameras.  I 
always hoped to run across one.
