1010762HiddenEarliest Spotmatic version, manufactured in late 1964. Distinguishing features: Narrow meter switch, film speed dial range 10-800 ASA, lens mount fixed to front standard with four screws, course pattern on focussing screen, no red dot on rewind button, arrow on battery cap contains a letter "O" instead of the word "open."

Advertised as being sold for parts or repair and came with a defective prism (desilvering, causing a black line across the viewfinder). Otherwise in good condition and working well.

1016732HiddenEarly Spotmatic version, manufactured in late 1964/early 1965. Chrome finish. Distinguishing features: narrow meter switch, film speed dial range 10-800 ASA, lens mount fixed to front standard with four screws, course pattern on focussing screen, no red dot on rewind button.

Bought as a parts/repair camera, this was jammed and in poor mechnical condition when it arrived and needed to be sent for a full CLA - incuding replacement of the mirror and prism. It now works well and is nice cosmetically. Came with its original case and strap but no lens.

1051275HiddenSpotmatic SP, M42 screw mount, 1-1000 + B, ASA 20-1600, self timer, marked Asahi Pentax. Uses RM400 battery. Great condition, excellent cosmetics with just a few scratches, shutter speeds seem accurate but not yet measured. Clear viewfinder with center circular micro-prism. Has "EP" stamp on tip of film wind lever indicating it was probably sold through an over seas PX (military exchange). My first Pentax, surprisingly heavy, solid build. I attached a Super Takumar 1.4/50 single coated lens (7-element Thorium oxide radioactive version), serial 3373xxx.Texas
