The three cameras are equivalent in good cosmetics without major dings or defects and smoothly operating back, film loading and advance, and controls. The overall handling reminds me of Minolta SRT’s- handy and substantial. The SV is purely mechanical, and the snap-on meter does not function. The two internal SP meters are inoperable as well. These are not film tested, but there is no reason they should not put an image on film. If they fail your film test, I will take back.

A flashlight inside the extension bellows showed no light leaks.

The apertures move smoothly, and the shutters work appropriately throughout the speed range, though accuracy cannot be precisely measured.

The light-gobbling tele is a 500mm Vivitar, an impressive display piece or weapon if not the sharpest lens in town. Every guy needs one that long. The two Pentax stock lenses are nifty fifty and 35mm. None have obvious flaws.

These are part of a large collection I am liquidating, kept in climate-controlled conditions in glass cases or bags. I post new cameras almost every day and invite you to look at my other offerings.
