I knew Ringo used a Pentax in A Hard Day's Night (anyone know what
model/lens?), but I had never seen George using one too. Pretty nifty. :)
After a quick little bit of Google research, it looks like it's an SV
with a clip on meter. It's the style of the meter on the left maybe?

It says the SV was introduced in 1962, and was the model that preceded
the Spotmatic, so it would have been the current Pentax model at the
time the movie was filmed.
I doubt it's the same camera Ringo uses in Hard Days Night, since that
one gets dunked in the river while Ringo's playing "deserter", but that
camera looks like an SV as well; without the clip on meter.

Standard lens would have been a 55mm f/l.8 Super Takumar
