[SOLD] This is a tiny and light Pentax MV SLR w/ a clean M Pentax SMC 50mm f2 lens. The focus and aperture are smooth, and there aren't really any known issues other than the rewind crank, which is AWOL. It's an easy fix, but I used my fingers to turn the dial to rewind it and popped the back open in the darkroom for the 2nd roll of film. Includes fresh batteries and a nice manual. Cosmetically it's good, w/ a few scruffs and no dents, There's old photos at my place of past Pentax cameras that had the 50 2 lens, and they're good lenses. A little soft at f2, sharper than you would expect after that, and good bokeh.
Everything appears to be working as it should, although the 2 rolls from the camera haven't been developed yet. If there's a problem, which I don't expect, send it back for a full refund. The shutter sounds right at chosen light levels and apertures, and w/ my shutter tester shows the speeds to be pretty close to being on the money. I put a lil hood on it, but unfortunately have no 49mm filters. I have some 52mm filters that I could sell cheaply w/ it if you want to use a 49 to 52 adapter ring. It's an almost perfect walk-around camera, you focus, shoot and wind. It's a lot of fun but I'm moving, and have too much as it is. It's so small and light that I forget it's on a strap w/ me.
This is a straight AE camera. Other than that, you have 1/100, B, and the ISO dial. There IS a cable release feature that has been tested and works. US sale only except for AK and HI, where the shipping will be a little more. I bought this at a good price as untested w/ no batteries. Since then it has been cleaned, the shutter was tested, new batteries were installed, etc.
