- You might do better looking for some other brand which used the same
- screw mount. Mamiya 1000 DTL comes to mind as a neat camera, particularily
- because of it's "dual" metering, both averaging and spot meters are
- selectable..and I'm pretty sure it has a hot shoe (but I wouldn't bet
- the farm on it)..
-
- The auto exposure mode is pretty hard to find. The Pentax ES and ES-II
- had it, but there are other limitations like limited manual speeds.
