I have 2 MVs and a pair of MV-1s, I've used them all and find that womble's statement about 'point and shoot' is about right.

You just have to remember that the higher the aperture, the slower the speed. So f2 in bright light = 1/1000 second, where as f5.6 = 1/500 second (approx)

It's not rocket science using the MVs, just try for a pleasing DOF and forget the shutter speed.

Manuals here by the way

The last e-cheque I had took 18 days to clear through paypal's wonderful system!!!

Still, my customer in Latvia was all to willing to wait for his PC bits, which he got 2 days after the cheque cleared. Who says the Royal Mail is slow, paypal could learn a thing or two about customer service from them.

Good luck on the lens, I've been looking for a while now to no avail!
My collection of bodies is HERE, and yes I also have a chrome(silver?) MV-I have a few other bodies as yet not on the site, one of which is a ME-F!

Welcome to the forum Mark. I assume you visit Bass and Bligh, your friendly neighbourhood Pentax dealer.

You're right. Apologies!

If, however, the eBay link is to be believed, there must be a 'standard' for this plug if it's used by other camera manufacturers?
Erm, the Ebay listing I linked to earlier gives a host of other camera models by Samsung, Olympus, Nikon and more!

Seems to be a 'standard' where cameras are concerned.

A quick look at your gallery brings to mind the fact that the male studies tend to be mono, whilst the female ones have eyecatching colours.

Could that be the reason?

I will admit to admiring the female form, but I'm also drawn tovibrant colours!
