Thanks Kim..... That's the information I was looking for. No, I haven't had any responses to my Spotmatic Club query.

Maybe I should have been more speciific. I'm speaking of the curtain material. I understand that later model SVs was made of sturdier rubberized silk as opposed to the older rubber types.

Did the shutter material improvements on the later SV/H3V/S1A/H1A models take effect with the change to the "Orange R" series?

I'm hopefully going to be acquiring a couple of other SV type bodies over the course of the next couple of months, & with those 3 alternating duties with a Spotmatic, coupled with my economical shooting habits, regular use takes on a different meaning. If one or another is out of service at some point in time, it won't be a major problem.

It's a pre-spotmatic S3. I just received the camera. I have a regular tech I use for CLAs & such. I was just trying to get as much info as I could before approaching the subject with him.

The slow speeds on my S3 are slow. The faster speeds are fine. Can this be easily & economically repaired by a technician?

Does anyone know of any websites devoted exclusively, or even partially to vintage hand held light meters?

I have a couple of nice smooth broken-in Takumars with slight focus play that polarizes the aesthetic pleasure of using them. Can this be easily corrected by a technician?

Is there a site that sells Spotmatic battery covers?

Was that done when the second version of the original Spotmatic was released? By the way, besides the higher ASA values, were there any other differences between 1st and 2nd versions of Spotmatic?
