Introduction to the Pentax MV, Video 1 of 2

Pentax built the MV for one year -- 1979 -- before replacing it with the MV-1. The MV represented Pentax's 35mm SLR with the fewest features and least user control. Designed specifically for people who wanted an SLR supported by good lenses but who would use it mostly for point-and-shoot photography, the MV supports only limited functionality.

However, it shared the same construction as the ME, ME Super, and MG. This resulted in an entry level camera with sturdy construction, reliable components, and a very long usable life.
