Please excuse me for resurrecting an old thread...

The SF series was Pentax' first successful, mass-produced AF body series. They were introduced in the late 1980s and are comfortable to hold. The shutter itself isn't to loud, but the winder makes an awful racket and the AF is noisy too. The AF is also a single point and sensitive only to horizontal detail. The SF1n/SFXn has a top shutter speed of 1/4000; the others only go to 1/2000. The "n"s have auto-bracketing, the others don't. The midline (SF1/SFX) and top-line ("n"s) have additional shooting modes that the base levels (SF-7/SF-10) don't.

My dad has an SF-1n, and I think it's a verrrry nice camera. I really like it.
