I agree with the above. I had an SF1n (actually SFXn) and I thought it had
one of the best shutter/winder sounds of any film camera. I also believe
it's build quality was superior to all later Pentax SLRs until the MZ-S and
*istD. Features-wise it was very good - it even had a spotbeam focus
assist. One of the only annoyances was not displaying aperature in the
viewfinder.
