Description :
The Pentax SP500 is a simple and charming manual SLR that keeps only what you really need to take great photos. Based on the famous Pentax Spotmatic, it shares the same solid metal body and smooth feel, but with fewer extras and a top speed of 1/500s. Everything is set by hand, so you choose the shutter speed, aperture and focus yourself, a perfect way to learn the basics of photography. The 55mm f2 Takumar lens is loved for its sharp, warm and gentle look, ideal for portraits and everyday scenes. With the M42 screw mount, you can also explore a wide range of affordable classic lenses later on.

Due to the age of this camera and the nature of old light meters we can’t guarantee that the light meter still works. This isn’t an issue as the camera will function perfectly without batteries. To meter a scene before taking a picture we recommend using an external light-meter or for you to take our online course that will teach you how to use a film camera without the use of any external tools.
