The metering will be fine. More important are the seals etc. Make sure the mirror bumper and light seals are not goo. Also, the mirror bearings which are rubber sometimes deteriorate. To test this take a longish lens, e.g., 200mm, and try to focus on something a long way away. If it won't focus at infinity you'll need a professional service.

Great images, especially the first two. To add my pennyworth, I'd clone out the bright object to the left of the
lighthouse in the first one. My eye is drawn to it immediately.

This weeks "Amateur Photographer" poll has 16% of people having shot film in the last month. I probably use film 80% of the time as I find it fun, and the digital camera almost entirely reserved for work images. I was about to write a long critique of comments made in ignorance but then I realised that it what I do at work and I cannot be bothered here!You have done the right thing in putting it on an auction site.

Luckily (for me) the film section of the US Pentax forums is quite lively unlike here.
