Gus Lazzari Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 <p><strong><em>Patrick S.</em></strong> asked for "<strong>Most modern</strong>", so I really don't understand the (1965) Konica AR-P reference.<br /> As mentioned by others, the Nikon F2 having been produced up until 1980, is the unit that best fits that title.</p> <p>With no meter head, it's truly a meterless camera.<br /> A plastic battery box, hard wires and a switch isn't anywhere near a "Meter".<br /> In fact it's less complex & more like the simplest flash sync system of the earlier meterless manual cameras.</p> <p>BTW, have you heard a Nikkorex F advance & fire ? Talk about <strong>noisy</strong>...</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul_noble Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 <p>The Pentax SL was made from about 1969-1973. It was simply a Spotmatic, with no meter. There was an accessory clip-on meter, which I always thought was kind of silly. I can almost understand the SL camera. Perhaps one was very old-school in the sixties and didn't want that new-fangled light meter. But, if you want a light meter, why buy a camera without one and then add a clip-on. Just buy a Spotmatic in the first place.</p> <p>Both the SL and its clip-on meter are as rare as hen's teeth. In fifteen years of watching for Pentax cameras on eBay, I've only seen a couple of the cameras and, I think, one clip-on meter. The meter looked very much like the ones for the earlier H/S series cameras, but it was not interchangeable. The distance from the prism to the shutter speed dial was different on the Spotmatic.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james_elwing Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 <p>Thanks, Paul.<br> The SL had the larger speed dial so SL meter therefore presumably couldn't fit earlier bodies, as you say, although the 1990 Hove book by Cecchi asserts it does and shows a photo purporting to be of one mounted on an SV. I thought the (round) Pentax Meter and square (SL?) Meter were interchangeable, but all that stuff is in the bottom of cardboard boxes.<br> Yes it seems a bit dippy, but right up to 1986 Leica people were buying piggy back meters for their new rangefinders, and they made a new M with dial suitable for MR meter last year, but sold no meter for it; enough said.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
