I finally dropped $150 on a JIS screwdriver set for Japanese cameras

Figured a regular Phillips was fine for that 1967 Pentax Spotmatic, but after stripping the third screw on the bottom plate I caved, and now I can actually take the thing apart without cursing; anyone else wish they'd just bought the right tool the first time around?

Oh man, learned that lesson the hard way with a Nikon F.

Still haven't forgiven myself for the first screw I murdered on a K1000.
