Manual is being conservative - all Pentax older cameras I have used (ME, ME
Super; LX) have had much longer maximum shutter speeds than the manuals
state. Maybe they cannot guarantee the accuracy of those longer speeds but
my results have been fine.
All the best!

Subject: Pebtax MV shutter speeds
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
