This is bizarre - I've never seen anything less like a Nikon SP. Just about
the only similarity is that they're both cameras. I'll have to reconsider
my own eBay descriptions -
"Great OM1 copy - the Pentax K1000 - almost identical in appearance!"
I've also got a Hyundai that is an almost perfect copy of a Porsche -
no-one will ever know the difference! This guy is just lying - is there no
way to control it?
