I have two more updated camera reviews for you, this time of a pair of mechanical 35mm SLRs with onboard meters.

The first is the Pentax Spotmatic F. Goodness, I can’t say enough positive about this camera. If you don’t have one, get one. Read my review here.

The Canon FT QL is a competent performer, and very solid under use. I’ve significantly revised this review, with freshly reprocessed images. Read my review here.

    Great reviews as always Jim. I’ve always fancied having a go with a Spotmatic but have yet to justify getting one. It’s a beautiful looking camera though. I thought the photographs in each review were excellent.

      Do get one. I recommend the F as it takes a common battery and offers open-aperture metering with the SMC Takumar lenses. Such a joy.
