Pentax Spotmatic F 35mm SLR Film Camera + SMC 50mm f/1.4 Lens

The Pentax Spotmatic F was the last and most advanced model in the legendary Spotmatic line, introduced in the early 1970s. Unlike earlier Spotmatics that required stop-down metering, the Spotmatic F supported open-aperture metering when paired with SMC Takumar lenses, making it much faster and easier to use in the field. Built with Pentax’s trademark reliability and clean design, the F remains a classic choice for M42 shooters.

This body accepts all M42 screw-mount lenses, giving you access to a wide variety of Takumar and third-party optics. With its bright viewfinder, sturdy build, and simple control layout, the Spotmatic F is an ideal entry into classic 35mm photography.

Condition: Good

This Pentax Spotmatic F is in good cosmetic and working condition with some noted quirks:

Cosmetics: Some visible wear consistent with age and use.

Hotshoe: Has a connectivity issue—may not fire flash units reliably.

Function: Shutter speeds and film advance operate smoothly, and meter responds and is accurate.

A reliable user-grade Spotmatic F—great for photographers who love the simplicity of M42 SLRs and don’t rely heavily on flash.
