Latest Review Posted Pentax SV (H3v)
I love mine. It is simply ridiculously pretty.


Functionally, this camera is almost exactly the same as a Spotmatic/SP camera but more compact. There is no meter so you need a handheld meter. This is no problem as most "on board" metering systems don't work accurately - if at all - after five or six decades or more. Sadly, these cameras are getting rather old and worn out and cannot handle regular use without regular servicing from somebody who does a proper job of work and who can keep the shutter working or they just break down.


I would recommend them for the collector who just want to find happiness in a pretty or meaningful object of art, but not for somebody who takes more than ten or so films each year and who wants reliability and consistency.
