Originally posted by G and T SV's aren't just pretty cameras, in use they have an unquantifiable amazing feeling, a sort of magic . . . .
Originally posted by stevebrot I have to agree. I don't shoot much with mine, but when I do, I am reminded of just how nice the SV is.

I had the Sightseeing Screwmount for a couple weeks several years ago - I think Steve also had it - and the experience was so
lush and transformative that I had to have one for myself. Beauty is deeper than merelly sitting on the shelf - it is in the experience. I've just gotten a 35/50/105 Super Takumar kit to go in the bag.
I got the K and Zebra from a PF member as part of my 'try, buy, sell' quest. I sold it to a member in Australia last year and though I haven't looked through my old serial number records (on the lens) I'll bet that's the one.
There are only a few cameras I own that aren't at all times casually For Sale. The SV is one of them. My black KX'es (both focusing screens) and LX. I suppose the K-01 and the original Q. Maybe the XA. For a long time I thought the K2DMD was one but I don't miss it.
K series lenses are entirely another form of compulsive hoarding.
