>From another chatlist:
"Well, I have a large number of cameras, some of them quite normal and
some of them very odd. And I've just dug out one of the oddest of them
all, in some ways.
It's an all-black 35mm SLR, about 20 years old. It has a 42mm screw
thread mount, with a standard 50mm f1.7 lens. It has a shutter speed
range from 4 seconds to 1/1000 electronically, and a mechanical 1/60.
Nothing too remarkable in that, but here's where it starts getting a bit
more interesting.
The stopped-down metering can be switched from centre-weighted averaging
(Av, to this camera) to spot (Sp), providing an LED read-out in the
viewfinder. But what really makes it special is a separate device that
clips into the hotshoe and sits on top of the shutter speed dial. This
little device provides aperture priority automation by moving the
shutter speed dial with a little motor!
The spec is rounded off by a DOF preview button, multiple exposure
lever, PC socket, self timer and shutter lock.
Anyone care to hazard a guess as to what it could be?"
Is this pentax? If so any ideas what?
