I don't believe that the MV had any mechanical shutter speeds, just X and B, sort of like a ME without the +/- 2 stop exposure override.

My MV has a 1/100 sec. speed on it's dial.
Further, it also has a + and - under the rewind dial, where you can set an under- or overexposure. Don't know if the dots are 1 stop, but I'd guess so...

Margus,
I'm going to pass along a thought, although I don't own an MV and know
absolutely nothing about them.
The 1 sec. min. shutter speed may only apply to a manual setting.(?)
The meter may, however, be able to set an exposure of up to 30 secs.(?)
I'll be checking to see if you find the answer.

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
