I have an MV-1 and love it.
Almost as much as I do my very similar MGs!
It's indeed a simplified version of the beloved ME, all of which lead to the much vaunted MX!
Number one, you have to like mechanical cameras, or all bets are off.
However, if you are okay with mechanical cameras, the MG, the MV and the MV-1 are very capable of providing you with excellent shots!
In this case, at least, "cheap" does not equal poorly designed or constructed...

It's about the cheapest way you can use a k-mount lens.
As far as whether an enthusiast wants to be using it, well, it seems to me that an enthusiast uses whatever the heck they want to. If one is insecure about "what to use", well, photography is the wrong thing to be in.
Steve, Frank, Don,
I ask because one comes attached to a 28/3.5 M lens I'm interested in. The body alone is $149, the lens alone is $149, the pair is $179 ($Aust).
I wondered if the body would have any resale value, or if it just a happy snap type of camera or perhaps had a history of problems, etc.
I can see it is a fairly simple auto only gadget.
Thanks :-)
