Question pentax spotmatic 2 - 11-20-2010, 08:21 PM


I cant get the battery bottom open on this camera. wonder will it matters on taking picture. If it just matter on the meter in the viewfinder then it wont bother me at all .

That's a fine film camera. It may be that the battery was left in the camera and has corroded. There likely are other issues as well, e.g. leaking light seals and a sticking shutter. If you really plan to use it, a good check-up and servicing will be a necessity. Good luck.
