Do Spotmatic collect more dust? - kevs - 03-21-2019

I've bought a few vintage camera recently. It seems the Spotmaic has more dust inside the body where film goes than Nikon F1 or my Canon eos 5. any idea why? thanks.

No worries it won't show in pictures.
If dust is in mirror box don't try to wipe the mirror yourself. You might scratch it, you can safely use a blower though

Thanks Toni, ok and dust, not on mirror, I see it more.. in plastic inside body cavity and on cloth that advance -- curtain. Wont show in images?

Why does the Nikon F1, and Canon EOS 5, all in same area, have less dust than the Pentax?
