The only minus is that the meter is always on when the lens cap is off.
Just like the K1000.

The Spotmatic F will give you open aperture meeting with Super Multi Coated or SMC Takumar lenses. That's a big plus over a Spotmatic. It's tough as nails and said to be almost identical to a K1000, save for the mount. The only minus is that the meter is always on when the lens cap is off. However, I never found that to be a problem, as I'm somewhat religious about keeping a lens cap on my camera when I'm not shooting. Paul
Is there a difference between the SpotF and the earlier Spotties, and the F
and , for example, the K1000, KM, KX with standard screens?

I've used 'em all, from Fuji and Rich to Mamiya. The all-around best, hands down, is the Spotmatic F.

A while back there was mention of some M42 mount bodies with superior viewfinders. I believe Fujica and Ricoh were among them. What M42 bodies have you found to be the best as far as viewfinder/weight/features, etc?
