Hi,
I got an old nice Pentax MV. Everything seems to work fine, but I
noticed, that by User Manual longest shutter speed should be 1 second.
My camera gives me also much longer exposures. I tried it at late
evening with lens stopped down to f22, exposure was about 8 seconds and
everything
Margus,
I'm going to pass along a thought, although I don't own an MV and know
absolutely nothing about them.
The 1 sec. min. shutter speed may only apply to a manual setting.(?)
The meter may, however, be able to set an exposure of up to 30 secs.(?)
I'll be checking to see if you find the answer

I believe that Pentax put a better meter/shutter combination in the MV
than they took credit for, shutter speeds longer than 1 sec. may not be
very accurate however since they weren't guaranteed correct.

That's right. Aperture preferred only.

The original Pentax M serie include MX and ME, two very different bodies.
The MX has no successors.
The ME has many successors with different improvements
The MV has very limited viewfinder info, red for overexposure, green for
ok and amber for underexposure. It's ok for quick snaps with a 50mm lens
That's pretty much my opinion. The ME was a good, solid, aperture-priority
camera. If you want a camera that could be used in manual mode

or so (mine lives in my car with an M50/2 on it) but it's a chore with much
of a telephoto lens, you don't know

MV is great for relaxing shots. If one have enough knowledge about
light/shutter/aperture is easy to determine what speed the camera is
actually using. f16 rule and so on.
Well, no. That's the whole point. It's easy enough to work out what
speed the camera *should* be using, but no way
I hear all the kudos for the MX, but rarely for the great little MG,
nor, for that matter, the MV or MV-1...
This will give you something to read and perhaps think about, while
you're pondering all the other, more popular older cameras Pentax has
come out with.
The MV came out in '79
the split-image finder is at a 45-degree angle. I'll include a
bargain-condition, but still nice SMC-M 50mm f/1.7 and an everready
case, also in bargain condition. Includes Pentax strap, too. $100 or
make an offer.
MV: Black. Bargain condition, but still nice. All features work, and
I know
. It does have the in-viewfinder flash
confirmation, though, which the ME doesn't.

It's essentially a stripped down ME, as such it's as good as an ME.
I've been happy with the one I have for it's purposes.
