So lately I've been interested in Spotmatics, and might buy one eventually. I'd like to know the differences between all the Spotmatic models.

I do know a little about each. I know the SP 500 and SP 1000 lack self-timers, and that the SP 500 has an unmarked shutter speed above 500 that may or may not be 1000. I also know that the SP-F can use full-frame metering with the S-M-C and SMC Takumars.

But what I don't know is what the differences between the SP and SPII are, and if there are any additional differences between the SPII and SP-F, and I don't know what makes the Electro-Spotmatics so special.

Can anyone please help me?
