A lot of people seem to be choosing the F. The only thing I wouldn't
like about it is that the meter's on when the lenscap's off. That
means the battery's constantly draining, and if you leave the cap off
when you're done...
Been using a Spotmatic F since '74. When traveling, walked around for
many a day with the cap off. Never had a problem. From my experience,
this isn't much of a problem. I always had a spare battery buried in
the case. Can't remember using one while in the field, but that maybe
just my bad memory. Almost all of them became suspect due to age
and were tossed. For me, it was never a problem. Have a couple of
ESIIs that came my way over the years. Prefer the F.
I'd choose the SPII. Stop-down metering doesn't bother me a bit, an
you still get the hotshoe.
Had one of these for aboutr seven years. Great camera. Stop-down
worked fine for me.
