I believe that Pentax put a better meter/shutter combination in the MV
than they took credit for, shutter speeds longer than 1 sec. may not be
very accurate however since they weren't guaranteed correct.

Hi,
I got an old nice Pentax MV. Everything seems to work fine, but I
noticed, that by User Manual longest shutter speed should be 1 second.
My camera gives me also much longer exposures. I tried it at late
evening with lens stopped down to f22, exposure was about 8 seconds
and everything turned out correct. My handheld meter also suggested 8
sec.
Is it something wrong with camera or is the Manual lying ???
BR, Margus
