The Asahi Pentax SV ('Honeywell H3v' in the US) is a fully mechanical film SLR, no batteries, no light metering, no autufocus. Very stylish yet simple design that feels heavy and sturdy on the hands. What makes you want to use this camera is that is a very bare camera, it strips all the non-essential feautres that plague cameras today and focuses on photography as an art -- remember shutter speed, aperture, and ISO, those are the things you will ever need.
