Lots of reassuring metal in a simple sturdy camera built to last. But along comes Cowboy Danny Digital and the gunfight is short and one-sided. So let's concentrate on the lens which came with the camera. M42 thread. Crude, and was later jettisoned in favour of bayonet fitting when electronics were introduced so that exact register could be guaranteed (not a possibility with screw thread). Construction metal and glass but surprisingly light in weight. 55mm focal length - they liked an extra 5mm in those days. Six iris diaphragm blades. Auto and manual capability (auto being the ability to focus with the aperture wide open and on pressing the shutter it closed down by itself to your selected aperture). This is a later version with a rubber focussing ring, introduced around 1972. Earlier types had the hill-and-dale focussing ring which looks much cooler in my opinion. F/1.8 maximum aperture. Not especially fast but certainly not useless indoors so long as you had loaded at least 400 ISO film (called ASA in those days - ISO came later).
Very nice handling from this combination. But I no longer use film and therefore I sold it to some lucky eBayer several years ago.
