>Is the Pentax MV any good? Just curious...-- People may tell you otherwise, as it's a totally uncool camera by pro wannabee standards.
I love my MV. It's very light, meters well, is unobstrusive and fits all my Pentax lenses. You basically don't set anything on it except the manual focus, so I tend to do more photography and less fussing with it. If need be you can fake exposure compensation by twiddling the ASA setting. It cost me $25 at a Goodwill store and so I tend not to worry about losing or damaging it. Combine it with a $25 50mm f/2 lens and you have the perfect no-anxiety camera. I've carried it in marathons, taken it to formal events, taken it canoeing, let it bounce around the floor of my car and it still takes fine pictures. I may buy another one, though I might be inclined to buy the MV-1 for the built in self timer. Bob Keefer Keefer Photography (541) 914-9259 www.bkpix.com
