I would suggest that the 1/1000 may have worked but might not have been consistently accurate enough for Pentax's standards. When they improved their fabrication/manufacturing processes they could achieve the 1/1000 a bit more comfortably so added the label. I am assuming that all of the cameras manufactured after a certain date had the 1/1000 speed marked. Just a thought, - Dave David A. Mann, B.E.
