Ola, Oscar. Que tal?
I used to own a Pentax SF10, my first Pentax AF camera. At the time,
I was intrigued by the two-segment metering and PROCES metering (a
fancy marketing term for automatic exposure compensation ;-). I didn't
like the SF1/SF1n center-weighted *only* metering.
I thought the AF was good, the built-in RTF was good. Shutter speed
below 1/15 goes blinking orange, but that's fine. Lack of depth-of-field
preview didn't bother me as much as I had thought. The PROCES metering
can be fooled if the subject isn't in the center, but the memory lock
comes in handy for this. Using memory lock or in metered manual,
only the central area which is larger than the spot meter area of the
PZ-1 is used which I thought was nice (sort of a poorman spot-center
weighted metering ;-). I got many, many good well-exposed pictures
from the SF10.
But the straw that broke the SF10 back for me ;-) was the lack of
exposure compensation. Thus, when using flash (RTF or TTL external),
it was totally out of control when I need to be in control! It was the
reason I finally sold it and use my MF bodies (MX and SuperProgram) for
a while. Later got the PZ-1.

Hello all.
Although I am not new in the list (I have participated a while ago), I
introduce myself again. I am photographer semi professional, more art than
money. I have used Pentax for several years. PENTAX MZ-50.
Now that I have introduced myself I want to ask for an opinion about the
Pentax sf10 and which is the current price?
Thank you,
Oscar Stanchi
