Pentax SF1n

I bought this camera primarily because it has an excellent reputation as a solid performer, and because it has a very bright, clear, autofocus green light in the center of the viewfinder to confirm the focus, using amnual focus K mount lenses. I have a number of classic K mount SMC M and SMC A primes and the ultra fine SMC A 35-105 zoom. As I am getting older, focusing becomes more difficult. I find this green LED focus confirmation light to be very useful.

I have a large collection of Nikon autofocus cameras F90X, N8008s, F70, N75, which all have a focus confirmation indicator in the viewfinder, but it is small and hard to see, as it is off to the side.

My SF1n is getting a lot of use now, and it will continue to be my choice when shotting manual focus landscapes, etc.

Rugged build, large LED top display on top of pentaprism. Good clear, bright viewfinder LEDs. Accepts an K mount menual focus lenses, and has focus confirmation BRIGHT GREEN LED in center of viewfinder. Will shoot in Program mode with K A lenses.

Requires some getting used to the manual speed settings with the up/down sliding buttons, but once you get the knack of it, it is easy. Limited program modes, but then, who is using program modes for serious photography anyway ? Requires electronic cable release ( got one on eBay, but they are rare. )
