- Focus: Features a split-grating focussing screen, ideal for precise manual focus.
Design and Usability:
- Controls:
- Shutter speed is adjusted via a top dial.
- Aperture is set using a ring behind the focus ring.
- Includes a depth-of-field preview button for aperture checks.
- Extras: Mechanical self-timer, shutter lock, and metering powered by two LR44 button cells lasting ~12 months.
