The Pentax Spotmatic is a range of 35mm single-lens reflex cameras manufactured by the Asahi Optical Co. Ltd., later known as Pentax Corporation, between 1964 and 1976. The original 1964 Spotmatic was the first SLRs on the market to offer a through-the-lens (TTL) exposure metering system[1] , initially using average metering and later center-weighting.
All Pentax Spotmatics use the M42 screw-thread lens mount. The lenses are focused at maximum aperture to give a bright viewfinder image for focusing, then a switch at the side stops the lens down and switches on the metering to enable the exposure to be set prior to shutter release.
All Pentax Spotmatics made use of Takumar lenses. These were high-quality, progressively improved lenses made by Asahi Optical Co. Ltd., later versions of which featured multi-coating. The cameras were also compatible with other M42 screw mount lenses.
