Not so, Darren - sorry. The SV (fitted with the Super-Takumar 55/1.8) was also marketed as the S3 or H3 (Honeywell Pentax, but fitted with the Auto-Takumar 55/1.8) and Super S2 (fitted with the Super-Takumar 55/2, for the Japanese market only), while the S1a was also known as the S2, H2, S1 and H1. Lens combinations for these latter were: S2/H2 - Auto-Takumar f2 S1/H1 - Auto-Takumar f2.2 S1a - Super-Takumar 55/2

SV = H1a, I thought. Yeah, when I saw $25 for the whole thing I thought "what are u waiting for"? If the two Pentaxes both come with 50s or 55s it is probably well worth that for the lenses alone. I'll take a local buy where I can put my eyeball on it and not pay shipping over eBay any day.
