6162448HiddenChrome Honeywell SPF used and loved (looks almost mint), came with original box, user's manual, SMC Takumar 1.8/55 no.7608717, cap with loop not to lose it (I wonder if it was an accessory or standard feature), case, leather case and leather strap, unused strap pad (all correctly branded Honeywell), warranty card (that reports different serial numbers, 6162472 and 7631111 so I assume they switched box)a AF200 flash bought in 1983, a Pentax K brochure, a small card explaining how to separate the upper halfcase and I price list from October 1976, I assume the date of the original sale.Everything seems to work fine.Ebay (USA)

6158131HiddenWell used in the past by a fire investigator, this SP F has considerable wear to the back. The hinge pin was bent outward at the top and bottom, but that was easily corrected. The light seals need to be replaced, and a little velvet seal strip along the hinge end of the body should take care of any leakage there as a result of the bent pin. The meter and shutter speeds appear to be accurate. The mirror bumper foam will need replacement as well. Came with an SMC Takumar 1.8/55 covered with a 1A filter. The filter wasn't salvageable, but it did a good job of protecting the lens.Winter Park FL camera swap meet

6109274HiddenSPF chrome body with SMC Takumar 1:1.8/55 both in great shape and fully working! Only the mirror gets stuck sometimes at lower speeds…

Comment regarding meter battery:
Even though some people on the internet say that SPF's meter works perfectly with 1.5V alkaline (or other) battery because it has some kind of electronic circuit that adapts to the battery, it is not true. My SPF was metering very unevenly in different lighting conditions with the (new) 1.5V battery, whereas with THE Wein Cell MRB625 Zinc-Air 1.35V battery it meters just perfectly and shows exactly the same values as all my other verified Pentaxs KXs! This cell is worth it!

6032593HiddenMirror sticking, light seals and mirror foam deteriorated, slight ding on lens outer ring, slight dings on bottom plate, meter wildly inconsistent. Leather case is a shambles. Other than the dings on the bottom plate and lens, the finish is unmarred, almost pristine. Film advance is smooth and aperture timing sounds ok. No scratches on glass. Already lubricated cog under bottom plate and mirror returning consistently. Have ordered new foam. A new battery will hopefully sort out the wonky meter. Will look into straightening lens and putting filter on it.Vancouver Island

6019034HiddenBought from a weird UK ebay seller that never gave me feedback to this day, but bundled an unmentioned Takumar 35/3.5 and a vintage Asahi Pentax book in the package. The body has a slight dent in the pentaprism, under the hot shoe, which renders the flash unusable at the moment. All shutter speeds are functional, and with a proper 625 battery, the light meter is working too.ebay UK
