Spotmatic Kodak Gold 200 - a photo on Flickriver

            A color film Kodak Gold 200 with my Asahi Pentax Spotmatic SP (year 1971) fitted with its normal lens Asahi Opt. Co. Super-Takumar 1:1.8 f=55 mm (M42 mount).

The 36-exposure film was exposed for 200 ISO and developed using a local C-41 service. Exposures were determined either by the camera readings or a Minolta Autometer III lightmeter fitted with a 10° finder privileging the shadow zones.

After process the film was digitalized using a Sony A7 body and a Minolta Slide Duplicator with a Minolta Auto Bellows III with a lens Minolta Bellow Macro Rokkor 50mm f/3.5.

About the camera :

This Asahi Optical Company (originally (旭光学工業株式会社, Asahi Kōgaku Kōgyō Kabushiki-Gaisha) SLR was sold to its first owner on December 11, 1971. 

The ASAHI PENTAX Spomatic SP was produced in Japan from 1964 to 1971. This exemplary was sold to me on July 25, 2022 after complete servicing of the camera with the beautifully conserved user manual, the original international warranty card, and a booklet describing the ASAHI PENTAX system.

The camera is equipped with its original normal lens Asahi Opt. Co. Super-Takumar 1:1.8 f=55  (M42 mount), a ASAHI PENTAX Skylight 49 mm filter, the original shade hood in a small leather case, the neck leather strap and the body half ever-ready case only. The two CdS photoresistors are still operated by a functionnal circuitry that is not sensitive by conception to the voltage difference between the original mercury (1.35V)  and nowadays available silver-oxyde (1.55 V) batteries. This simple circuitry operates only with the closed diaphragm and gives matching values to a silicon Minolta Autometer III lightmeter.
