Conclusion:

Great and very funktonal and good camera.
The viewfinder is one of the best I have seen on a m42 SLR and I don't see any diffurence to this compared to my Nikon FE2.

The lightmeter works lika a more modern camera that you press the shutter botton halv way to start the lightmeter.
A problem is that you can't do this if you haven't advanced for a new frame.
So you can't just get a lightmeter unless you cock the shutter for the next frame.


Thumbs up:
Build quality and feel
Great viewfinder
Reliable

Thumbs down:
No mirror lock
Must cock the shutter before you can get a lightmeter
