At 4.50 I point to the battery compartment which has a cover held in with a single slotted screw. Undo this and pop in 2x CR123A batteries

First your example is stunning looks like been take straight from the box. 😊 Mirrors issues are with serial number start from 0. I just bought again 5d classic after regrets from few years after last been sold and current serial number start from 14 so shult be OK. Because with this model shuuter counter is unknown I only Can think lots of 5d classic Can have very high shutter counter. I saw few Nikon d700 with 1 miło shutter counter amazing 😊😊

Hello! Recently i bought a same model and some of my images look quite underexposed despite being in decent outdoor lighting. I wonder if you experience similar issues. Or is this camera quite sensitive to the lighting of where we point the small focus circle in the viewfinder?

@@vintagevantics have you ever used low iso films with the ricoh ff9 before? Like iso 200? Because i think the camera cant read the dx code for iso 200 films therefore it sets the iso to 250 or 320, which is definitely underexposing it

Good find. Thats a late serial number SP F from the second of 2 production batches probably 1975. Your 55mm f1.8 SMC Lens serial number is from batch 174 of 175 batches made. Lens date definitely 1975. I have 5 of the F models now including A Motor Drive Version. All mine have 50mm f1.4 SMC lenses. IMHO the spotmatics are the best Pentax cameras ever made. They are so reliable and solid. I have over 30 different Spotmatics in Chrome and Black including Electro Spotmatics, ES and ESII plus SPII SP500 SP1000, SP and 2 Non metered SL's . all my cameras have the correct Takumar standard lens from era fitted. 3 of my early Spotmatic SP's have the 8 Element 50mm f1.4 fitted. I also have most Super multi coated Takumar prime lenses from 24mm to 200mm. Still plenty of them out there need to be found a home here in my collection :)

Check at 9.13. You only have to be in this rough area with your magnetised flat blade screwdriver and if it’s a jammed solenoid it will spring to life when you simultaneously press the shutter button. It doesn’t work in every case as sometimes there may be other failures. Good luck.

Nice review. A small correction if I may...the stop down switch doesn't operate the metering. If this were the case then it would be stop down metering. In fact, the meter is always on when the lens cap is off. Also, did you realise that there is a "T" setting? With the shutter speed on B, hold down the shutter release while rotating the collar around it. The shutter will then stay open until the collar lock is released.

@vintagevantics 6 ай бұрын

Thanks for that. Doesn’t it depend on the lens I thought? Mine came with the Supertakumar 55mm 1.8 designed for TTL metering but other lenses need to be stopped down? Not sure but thanks for your comment.

@Whywas6scared 6 ай бұрын

@vintagevantics You are correct that open aperture metering is only possible with SMC (super multi coated) lenses like yours. I don't currently have a battery in mine to check, but with other M42 lenses, I believe the meter will still always be on, but will only give an accurate reading when the lens is stopped down. In other words, for a correctly set up camera, the meter needle will be in the "+" region until stopped down.

Great little camera, very capable and has reached an almost iconic status now! I must admit I've just added one to my retro camera collection after a long search to find one locally at a reasonable price. The model I have is almost pristine and I'm looking forward to shooting some film with it. My quest to get one goes back a long way, on a school trip in the 1970s my best friend took his olympus trip 35, I had our family kodak instamatic, it was only after we compared photos, I realised how crude our family camera was and how much nicer the Olympus Trip photos came out. I said back then I wanted to get one but they were way out of my pocket money price range. Until now....😊 I've added your channel, hopefully you'll connect with another retro camera photographer. 📷
