At least they had the decency to use a "Super-Multi-Coated" Takumar and not the piece of crap "SMC" version they came out with later....
This may be controversial but I think Pentax quality peaked with the SPII of 1971 ( Thirty years ago ). Yeah the SPF had open aperture metering but the finder wasnt as good and the lenses took a step back when the started using rubber and later plastic... "Super-Multi-Coated" Takumars ( all metal and glass) were the ultimate quality, "SMC" Tersions were lower quality, "K" lower again, M lower again , A even lower, you get the picture...
