Pentax Spotmatic F

Unfortunately my copy of the Pentax Spotmatic F has an issue with the 1/500 and 1/1000 shutter speeds. The timing of the shutter is such that it is captured on the film as a black band across part of the frame. In among the images that turned out I have thrown in some Nikon P7000 images that represent the failed images. This is possible because I was using the Nikon as my exposure meter. You can’t beat a digital camera for the immediate feedback they give so why not use that to advantage when shooting film. I hope to find the time this winter to adjust the shutter as this is an otherwise excellent camera. For now though I will use a different camera with my screw mount lenses.
