Introduced in 1964, it was one of the first 35mm SLRs to offer through-the-lens light metering, and it became one of the best-selling cameras of its era precisely because it was so well made and so straightforward to use. The all-metal body is built to last, the shutter is fully mechanical meaning it works without any battery at all, and the M42 screw mount gives access to one of the widest lens libraries in all of film photography. Paired with the 55mm f1.8 Super-Takumar, a fast and beautifully made standard lens, you have a combination that produces images with a warmth and character that is hard to replicate. The f1.8 aperture lets in plenty of light for low-light shooting and gives a pleasingly shallow depth of field for portraits. A great camera for anyone who wants to learn photography from the ground up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecs:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\" class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3 print:block print:space-y-1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fully mechanical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Shutter Speed:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/1000s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLens:\u003c\/strong\u003e M42 screw mount, 55mm f1.8 Super-Takumar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full manual only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBattery:\u003c\/strong\u003e No battery is required as it is fully mechanical\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cem style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eDue to the age of this camera and the nature of old light meters we can't guarantee that the light meter still works.
