I struck lucky and picked up a near mint Pentax Spotmatic F from our local Cash Converters. Here is a quick look at this classic camera from 1973 and some sample images from a London Mayfair photo walk.

Nice review. A small correction if I may...the stop down switch doesn't operate the metering. If this were the case then it would be stop down metering. In fact, the meter is always on when the lens cap is off. Also, did you realise that there is a "T" setting? With the shutter speed on B, hold down the shutter release while rotating the collar around it. The shutter will then stay open until the collar lock is released.

Thanks for that. Doesn’t it depend on the lens I thought? Mine came with the Supertakumar 55mm 1.8 designed for TTL metering but other lenses need to be stopped down? Not sure but thanks for your comment.

@vintagevantics You are correct that open aperture metering is only possible with SMC (super multi coated) lenses like yours. I don't currently have a battery in mine to check, but with other M42 lenses, I believe the meter will still always be on, but will only give an accurate reading when the lens is stopped down. In other words, for a correctly set up camera, the meter needle will be in the "+" region until stopped down.
