Hi, Peter, See, now that makes sense. When the SP500 came out, it was "competing" against the SP. Put a 1/1000 shutter speed on it, and the only difference would be the self-timer. Not really much incentive to ante up the big bucks for the SP.
By the time the SP1000 came out, the SPII had the hot-shoe, and the SPF had open aperture metering, so I guess those features were seen as enough of a "draw" to spend more $$. thanks, frank Peter Alling wrote: > Remember when the SP1000 came out it was the bargain little brother to the > Spotmatic F and ESII both of which had wide open metering, as well as other > advanced, (for the time), features. > -- "The optimist thinks this is the best of all possible worlds.
