Strength:
Everything's manual
Weakness:
Low reliability, high level of light inside the body (bad paint), small viewfinder, lousy controls, unreliable shutter, lens quality varies Well, it's a kind of trip in time, but not a pleasant one. Entry-level full-manual SLR is hopelessly obsolete, with its prewar-Leica-style shutter, absence of slow speed, 67 per cent of frame in the wiewfinder, heavy weight and low reliability. You say, one cannot expect more from a machine that costs less than a primitive focus-free compact. I say, one can expect more from an entry-level SLR. My advice - opt for a used Pentax K1000, it won't let you down unexpectedly. Customer Service Get ready to call it!
