AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This auction features the classic Asahi Pentax Spotmatic (SP) in silver, equipped with a versatile MAKINO MC 35-105mm F3.5-4.5 zoom lens. While the camera shows excellent cosmetic preservation, please note the specific functional details below.

Cosmetic Condition:
The body is in beautiful vintage condition. It has been well-maintained with only minimal signs of use, free from any major dents or distracting scratches.

Functional Condition:

Shutter: Fully operational. It fires accurately at all speeds, including slow speeds and Bulb.

Film Transport: The advance lever and rewind mechanism are smooth and reliable.

Light Meter: Non-functional. The internal meter does not react to light. This does not affect the mechanical operation; the camera remains fully usable in manual mode.

Lens Optics: There is a slight presence of fungus inside the lens elements. It is minor and, in my professional opinion, should have negligible impact on contrast or image quality in most lighting conditions.

Mechanics: The zoom and focus rings operate smoothly without any hitch.

Specifications & Shipping:

Weight: Approx. 1.1 kg

Dimensions: Approx. 14.3 x 9.2 x 14.0 cm

Material: Robust metal construction

Shipping: Professional packaging is guaranteed. Shipped via DHL/FedEx with full tracking and insurance for a secure international transaction.
