Pros: Program mode with any lens, common batteries
Cons: Button controls

K-mount competitor to a Canon T70. Fun camera when you want to shoot mostly auto everything. Originally just bought this to pair with my Chinon 45mm pancake lens but was surprised at how much I enjoyed using it.

Pros:
  • Takes AA (4) batteries making it a good travel camera
  • Program mode (3 modes) with any K-mount lens
  • Multiple exposure mode
  • Real cable release socket, takes a normal cable release
  • Reasonably fast continuous shooting mode
  • Metal tripod socket
  • Comfortable grip

Cons:
  • Push button controls
  • LCD display bleed (make sure you check the display before you buy/bid)
  • No aperture displayed in the viewfinder
  • No DOF preview

Pros: good program single lens reflex with exact
Cons: no indication of aperture in viewfinder / no spot meter



as teacher of Photography I'd sold some of theses auto winder SLRs.

++ all K-mount lenses usable

++ Without electronic A-contacts this SLR is able to perform 3 programs.

++ 4 AA batteries affordable

++ flash sychronisation 1/125 sec.

++ high reliability

O no aperture indication in viewfinder

O no spot meter

for this low price highly recommended 9 points
