Owned a P5 for a short while a number of years ago. My memory of it is a plasticky, light weight, but bulky unit with hollow sounding loud shutter with a slow speed limited to 4 secs. Gave it to my brother and he's been giving me sour looks ever since..he possibly had other reasons as well(?). That was in about 1982.
