Jim, nearly everyone who's used Pentaxes from this era has fallen in love with them! I had a new SV in 1968. I bought another early this year which had exactly the same setup, and I really enjoyed using it again. As you say, they are big and beautiful hunks of metal and glass!
Enjoy - I did.

This will be my first screw mount. While I'm waiting for it to arrive, I wanted to know if any of you have used this ancient, beautiful-looking hunk of metal and glass, and what you like/don't like about it. (I already know it doesn't have a built-in light meter, but I have a hand-held one, so that's not an issue.) I look forward to hearing from H1a owners! > > Jim Moniz > Actor, Photographer, and All Around Nice Guy... > www.jimmoniz.com > > -- > _______________________________________________ > Get your free Verizonmail at www.verizonmail.com > >
