Introduction
Your Asahi Pentax Spotmatic II is the finest photographic instrument on the market. The Super-Multi-Coating" on the Takumar lens, developed by Pentax and available only on Spotmatic II Takumars, reduces flare and boosts contrast to a degree far beyond what was previously possible in optical technology. It is a tougher coating than is available on any competitive lenses and results in pictures with more detail and richer colors than is possible with any other system at any price
The Spotmatic II itself is an outgrowth and refinement of the original Spotmatic which introduced through-the-lens metering to the world of photography. Its stopped-down metering system is the most accurate method for perfect exposure determination. It also automatically gives you a depth-of-field preview. It is an averaging system for the easiest and most dependable exposures in typical picture-taking situations. This metering system has been refined and improved each year in the Spotmatic to a degree of accuracy unmatched in the industry.
The original Spotmatic was the most compact 35mm SLR made. The Spotmatic II retains that same traditional compactness and classic feel. It also is designed for use with the accessories from the Pentax system, including all of the superb Takumar lenses ranging from the ultra-wide-angle 17mm Takumar up to the super-telephoto 1000mm Takumar. The Pentax system can grow with you as your interests develop in any direction.
We are very proud of the Pentax Spotmatic II. We are sure you will be, too.
