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 50mm f1.4 Takumar lens, you have a combination that produces images with a warmth and character that's hard to replicate. The f1.4 aperture lets in a generous amount of light for low-light shooting and gives a pleasingly shallow depth of field for portraits. Exposure is set fully manually, which makes this 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\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecs:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul 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\"\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, 50mm f1.4 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\"\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\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eDue 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. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/morifilmlab.com\/products\/guide-to-film-photography-learn-how-to-use-your-camera-without-light-meter?_pos=10\u0026amp;_sid=afbdeab15\u0026amp;_ss=r\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eLearn more here.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Pentax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54010354106707,"sku":"6356","price":319.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0406\/4313\/3595\/files\/LAB_4602.jpg?v=1781610688","url":"https:\/\/morifilmlab.com\/products\/asahi-pentax-spotmatic-sp-35mm-slr-film-camera-with-50mm-f1-4-lens-1","provider":"Mori Film Lab","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
