HI TO EVERYONE, Pentax MF-1

edo.evillarroel · 05-21-2013, 09:39 PM

Hi to everyone, I just joined the forum for one simple but complex reason. I found a Pentax camera between my father's belongings.
It's the rare Pentax MF-1, designed for scientific purpose.
This is the most complete source of information I could find : Yahoo! Groups

I basically want to know if I can use a normal lens on it ( i really don't know much about cameras) , like the Pentax ME's lens, someone can help me with this?

Here's a (not good) picture of it. (the big one is a Zenit lens)

Welcome to the forum, a quick search revealed the following. The Pentax MF-1 is a scientific camera made by Pentax and based on the body of the Pentax ME. It has a special finder with a round image field. The image is aerial, there is no ground glass. It has a spot meter, the manual speed is 1/4 instead of 1/100, and it has FP and X sync.
