Just picked up a pentax mx and finally sent off my first few rolls to get scanned. I also have a Chinon 5 that I have not played with yet. and a minolta g which has been pretty fun.
I picked up one of these at an estate sale. I will play with it some just to see what I think. Not expecting perfection. I have several film cameras. I'll probably keep this on hand in my truck. The flash sync is the 100x position but how is the F-stop determined? I do not see a green LED signal at any F-stop as I tested it.
Thank you for the detailed review! I have one too. You mentioned about the green and amber led lights. Does this also supposed to have a red led for over exposure? Asking because mine doesn’t show any red led when trying over exposure. I thought they have red light and mine isn’t working..

Hi, reading through the user manual, you are correct, will have to dig mine out and get back to you....
Did you find out if it supposed to have a red light, mine just shows amber and green as well
Hey I have one with new batteries on, but theres no leds anywhere! 🥺

Hi, the internal light meter works just fine, it is the only way to use the camera 👍
