The Asahi Pentax Spotmatic is one of the early successful Japanese cameras sold between 1960 and 1977. The Spotmatics are well known for bringing stop-down Through-the-Lens (TTL) metering to the masses, with a light metering system that was easy to use, intuitive and affordable, becoming the favourite SLR of enthusiasts and professionals at the time.
Asahi Optical Company (later Pentax), presented the original prototype called Spot-Matic in Photokina 1960 designed by a team lead by Dr. Minoru Suzuki's with a spot-metering system; by the time sales began in 1964, coinciding with the Olympics in Tokyo, the metering system was an average metering. These cameras use the M42x1mm lens mount, just like their predecessor (Pentax S/H series) which allowed them to use a large amount of lenses from many manufacturers.
Asahi Optical set new standards in quality of image and construction under the Takumar brand, and the late models called Super-Multi-Coated Takumar allowed for fully opened light-metering with mechanical linkage to the camera which was used in the Spotmatic F and the Electro Spotmatics. Asahi Optical introduced a large number of Takumar lenses, of excellent construction and image quality, and which were improved over time with high quality coating, setting the standards for years to come, some have achieved cult-like status.
