Pentax bodies with MLU?

[scott_gardner1]

Anyone know of a online table/chart that shows all Pentax models and basic

functions?

 

This one:

 

http://www.butkus.org/chinon/ultimate_k-mount.htm

 

is a good start but obviously incomplete. BTW, I copied and converted this to

Excel. If you want a copy of the file, let me know and I'll email it to you

with my additions.

 

In any case, are there Pentax/Pentax compatible bodies other than the ones

listed here that have MLU?

 

TIA!/Scott

I know of one inaccuracy on this chart: The Ricoh XR-2s/Sears KS Auto is listed as not having MLU but it does in fact have it.

Excellent! Thanks, Donnie. That's the kind of info we need. I'll update my Excel copy.

 

Of course it would make sense to get a dynamic version posted to the Web but I don't have a personal site. Any suggestions?

 

Cheers!/Scott

The table shows an Alpa SI-3000 with a top shutter speed of 1/1000. I know there was an SI-2000 made by Chinon and it had a 1/1000 top speed. Didn't the SI-3000 have a higher top speed? I have two Sears KS-Auto bodies but I don't remember them having mirror lock-up. Is this just when the self-timer is used?

Some bodies have MLU but are not mentioned as having this feature, because it's coupled with the use of the self timer. I know some cheap Vivitar bodies (Cosina made) having a self timer work like this (I own a pretty cheap V3000s. It has MLU when you use the self timer).

[donnie_strickland]

Correct, Jeff. You must use the self-timer.

Google's new spreadsheet service allows you to publish a public copy:

Andrew, good idea! I'll check it out.
