Lifelong User...SV; MZ-5; ist-D

Gzbhow · 03-05-2020, 04:02 PM - **1 Like**

I recently opened a box of old cameras and decided to dust them off and find some memories in them.
My father gave me a Pentax SV for Christmas 1979. I used that camera for 15 years or so before upgrading to the MZ-5 while living overseas. And that eventually led to the upgrade to digital and the ist-D.
Today, I've come full circle of getting my SV completely disassembled, cleaned and repaired. Can't wait to get back into the swing of using that camera.

Hoping to find some information for each of my old cameras here as well as tip and trick along the way!.

Ooh, the SV, my favorite pre-Spotmatic Pentax camera.

Here's a link to SV reviews here:

I just added an Auto 110 to the stable... First roll was a success!
