Analog SLR camera PENTAX spotmatic is held by Roscheider Hof Open Air Museum. Museum description: Analog single-lens reflex camera from the company Asahi Pentax / Japan. Pentax was and is always at the forefront of photographic technology development. The Spotmatic was the first production camera to measure exposure through the lens. It was measured "through the lens" (TTL). The first model appeared in 1964; it was continually developed further and produced until 1973. This example is a Spotmatic II, built between 1971 and 1973. It has an M42 screw mount. Its condition is good; fitted here is a wide-angle lens by Beroflex 1:1.8/28 mm. The museum record gives measurements L: 145 mm B: 45, mm H: 105 mm. These details come from the holding museum's own record; how far this object represents a wider collectible type has not yet been independently verified.
