The H3v camera body is free of any major scratches. The paint and grip are very well intact. The exposure meter is a great tool to take properly exposed photos with efficiency. Both lenses show signs of use on the body, but the glasses are beautiful. This kit was specially created by FSC employees as a starter kit for someone looking to start out in film photography.

The Asahi Pentax SV / H3v was launched in 1963. This introduces the fully automatic aperture operation on the Asahi Pentax cameras. For the US market, this model was regarded as a replacement for the H3 with the addition of a self-timer (v), which was the other new thing on this model. It is situated under the rewind knob with an integral film reminder dial. A curved arrow and a chrome release button on the top plate next to it complement the function. A yellow engraved V on the dial indicates when the picture will be taken as seen from the camera front. A new automatic resetting frame counter is placed under a cover on top of the wind-lever hub. The standard lens is the Super-Takumar 1:1.8 / 55mm.
