HONEYUI'ELL PENTAX SL
The Pentax SL camera is a special adaptation of the world famous
Spotmatic.
when the Pentax spotmatic was introduced to the public at the 1960
Photokina, the photographic world's fair in cologne, Germany, it
attracted immediate and keen attention. Not available for purchase
at the time, it was a model of the advanced features and design that
would be incorporated into cameras of the future.
Four years of extensive research, exhaustive experiments and inten-
sive testing followed before it became available to serious amateur
and professional photographers in late 1964.
The new Honeywell Pentax SL shares the same design and features
of the Spotmatic except the behind-the-lens exposure meter. The
SL camera has the same heavy-duty focal plane shutter, the same
brilliant viewing system with central micro prism and instant return
mirror in the same durable, light weight body as the Spotmatic.
Since the sL has no meter, it is the ideal camera for the photogra-
pher who wants the professional features of the Spotmatic, but prefers
to use a separate exposure meter.
The traditional classic design and simple elegance associated with
earlier models of the famous Pentax have been retained in the SL
despite the incorporation of many highly advanced features. Metic-
ulously constructed by master craftsmen, the pentax cameras remain
the standard of excellenceand precision in the world of 3bmm single-
lens-reflex cameras.
You will find the Honeywell Pentax SL an even more rugged "work-
horse" camera than the famous Pentax H3v. Its 5bmm f./r.gor 50mm
f/1.4 Super-Takumar lens with completely automatic diaphragm will
satisfy the demands of even the most critical professional. Like the
Hla and H3v, the Honeywell Pentax SL has a 42mm threaded lens
mount that accepts any of the superb Takumar lenses from ultra-
wide-angle 17mm Takumar to the super-telephoto1000mmTakumar.

Microprism
Honeywell Pentax cameras have a
Fresnel lens with a microprism cen-
ter underneath the ground glass. As
you look through the finder, you will
see that the Fresnel lens consists of
many concentric rings which provide
the brightest possible image on the
ground glass.
The microprism is the center por-
tion of this diaphragm. When your
subject is in focus, the image in the
microprism will be sharp and per-
fectly clear. If your subject is not
in focus, the microprism will break
the image up into many small dots,
much like an engraver's screen. You
can focus your subject on any por-
tion of the ground glass.
