Not available for purchase at that time, it was a model of the advanced features and design would be incorporated into cameras of the future. Four years of extensive research, exhaustive experiments and intensive testing followed before it became available to serious amateur and professional photographers in late 1964. With its unique behind-the-lens exposure meter of entirely new design, the Honeywell Pentax Spotmatic is now more than just another camera . . . it is a new concept in photography. Hidden within the camera body, its through-the-lens meter utilizes two highly sensitive Cadmium Sulfide sensors to accurately measure light seen by the camera's lens as it is reflected from the subject being photographed. Therefore, by measuring the light as it passes through the lens and matching the exposureView original page 3

needle as seen through the viewfinder, you can be assured of properly exposed pictures under all but the most impossible lighting conditions. Macro or microphotography, pictures with telephoto lenses or with filters . . . the Honeywell Pentax Spotmatic will give you correctly exposed photographs without the use of external meters or the need for cumbersome, time-consuming calculations! The Spotmatic may also be set manually the same as any other quality 35mm camera if special lighting or selective focus effects are desired. Just leave the exposure meter switch in its OFF position and select the f/stop and speed settings for the required effect. The traditional classic design and simple elegance associated with earlier models of the famous Pentax have been retained in the Spotmatic despite the incorporation of many highly advanced features. Meticulously constructed by master craftsmen, the Pentax cameras remain the standard of excellence and precision in the world of 35mm single-lens reflex cameras. You will find the Honeywell Pentax Spotmatic even more versatile than the famous Pentax H3v. Its new 50mm f/1.4 and 55mm f/1.8 Super Takumar lenses with completely automatic diaphragm will satisfy the demands of even the most critical professional. Like the H1a and H3v, the Honeywell Pentax Spotmatic has a 42mm threaded lens mount that accepts any of the superb Takumar lenses from the ultra-wide-angle 18mm Takumar to the super-telephoto 1000mm Takumar.View original page 4

www.butkus.us Short-course operating manual 1.SET FILM SPEED. Lift the outer ring of the shutter speed dial, turn it around and set the same number as the ASA number of the loaded film to the small red index which appears alongside the figure 1. Then wind the rapid wind lever. 2.SET SHUTTER SPEED. Turn the shutter speed dial and set the speed you wish to use to the index. When outdoors, set the speed at 1 /125 Sec. or faster, depending upon the lighting. When indoors, set it at 1 30, or in its neighborhood. Change the shutter speed later, when necessary. Refer to item 5, page 19.) 3.COMPOSE AND FOCUS. While viewing through the viewfinder, turn the distance scale ring with your thumb and index finger until you get the sharpest image of your subject at the microprism center of the finder.View original page 7

4.TURN ON LIGHT METER SWITCH.
Push up the switch button with your thumb, and the small window on
the switch button will turn to red indicating that the meter is switched
on. Through the viewfinder, you will observe the movement of the
meters needle on the right side of the ground glass. Be sure to turn off
the meters switch when not actually taking readings.
5. ROTATE DIAPHRAGM RING.
The needle moves up and down with the turn of the diaphragm ring.
When the needle rests at the center, you will get correct exposure, If
the needle does not come to the center no matter how far you turn the
diaphragm ring, change the shutter speed. When the needle is off
center and close to the (+) mark, you will get over-exposure:
change the shutter speed to a faster setting. If the needle is closer to
the (-- mark, you will get under-exposure: change the shutter speed to
a slower setting.
6.RELEASE SHUTTER.
Hold your camera firmly and trip the shutter. When the shutter is
released, the meter switch will automatically turn off, and the needle
will remain fixed off and underneath the center. The diaphragm will
reopen to its full aperture and the overall image will look brighter.
Wind the rapid wind lever for the next picture. (When taking a series
of pictures under the same lighting conditions, it is not necessary to
repeat instructions 4 and 5.)

As a general rule, your camera should be held more firmly by
the left hand which does not release the shutter. If you hold
your camera with the right hand--the hand which releases the
shutter--it may cause camera movement. Very often, pictures
which are not sharp are due to movement of the camera.
When you focus with the camera held horizontally (Position
A), hold the lens barrel as illustrated in photograph.
Put the camera on your left hand thumb and little finger. Turn the distance scale ring with your thumb
and index finger. When holding the camera vertically, some people release the shutter with the thumb
(Position B), while others release it with the index finger (Position C). Position C is more desirable for
fast focusing and shooting. With the Honeywell Pentax, whether held vertically or horizontally, you
see your subject image through the taking lens, enabling you to compose, focus and shoot with a
minimum of time and effort.
Film loading
Avoid direct sunlight when loading your film.
1. Open the back by pulling out the rewind knob until back cover snaps open.
2. Place the film cassette into the cassette chamber, and push back the rewind knob. Draw out the film leader
and crease across one or two perforations back from the end of the leader. Insert the creased portion into slot of
the take-up spool.
3. Advance the film by alternately turning the rapid wind lever and releasing the shutter until both sprockets
have properly engaged the film perforations. Close the back by pressing it firmly.
4. If the film is properly loaded, the rewind knob will turn counter-clockwise when you advance the film by
turning the rapid wind lever.View original page 9Page 10 · Read text

shutter speed dial because the dial is
connected to the exposure meter system.
Film wind and rewind
1. Before turning the rapid wind lever, slowly turn the film
rewind knob clockwise until a slight resistance is felt. This
prevents loosening or warping of the film.
2. The first portions of the film cannot be used for picture
taking as t hey have already been exposed to light.
Generally, two blank exposures should be made before
taking your first picture. Wind the rapid wind lover until it
stops. Watch to see that the film rewind knob turns
counterclockwise, indicating that the film is moving from
cassette to take-up spool. Trip the shutter. Wind the rapid
wind lever for the first picture; the exposure counter
automatically turns to '1', indicating that the first picture is
ready to be taken.
3. After the final picture on the roll (20 or 36 exposures) has been taken, the rapid wind- lever will not turn all
the way as you stroke it. This indicates that the final picture has been taken on your film, and that the film must
be rewound. DON'T open the back of the camera, or all exposed frames will be ruined.View original page 10Page 11 · Read text

4. Unfold the film rewind crank.
5. Depress the film rewind release button. Turn the rewind crank to rewind the film into the film cassette. The
film rewind crank permits rewinding at a smooth, even rate. (Under some atmospheric conditions, erratic or too
rapid rewinding will cause static electricity marks on the film.) You will feel the tension on the rewind crank
lessen as the leader end of the film slips off the take-up spool.
Stop rewinding when you feel this happen. AVOID DIRECT SUNLIGHT WHEN UNLOADING YOUR
FILM. (The rewind release button will return to normal position as you lead your next film and turn the rapid
wind lever.)
6. Pull out the film rewind knob (the back will open automatically), and remove the film cassette.
.
Bright field focusing
1. You can start viewing and focusing before and after
winding the rapid wind lever. When the preview lever is in
"A" (automatic) position, and the meter is at "OFF the
diaphragm is fully open except for the moment of exposure.
2. Turn the distance scale ring until your subject image is
clearly in focus. It is not always necessary for you to view
and focus with the diaphragm fully open. In bright sunlight,
you can easily focus with diaphragm closed to f/5.6 or f/8,
and still observe the depth of field. It is easier, however, to
focus with the diaphragm fully open as your subject image is
much brighter. When the letter "M" appears beside the lever,
the lens is in manual position; when "A" appears, it is in
automatic position.
Microprism
Honeywell Pentax cameras have a Fresnel lens with a
microprism center 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 portion of this diagram. When
your subject is in focus, the image in the microprism will be
sharp and perfectly clear. If your subject is not in focus, the
microprism will break the image up into many small dots,
much like an engravers screen. You can focus your subject on
any portion of the ground glass.View original page 11Page 12 · Read text
Automatic diaphragm
When the preview lever is in "A" (automatic) position, and
the exposure meter is turned to "OFF", the fully automatic
diaphragm is at its largest aperture at all times, except for the
instant of exposure, no matter what aperture is set on the
diaphragm ring. When you release the shutter, the diaphragm
automatically stops down to the predetermined aperture and
the shutter curtains start traveling instantly. When the
exposure is completed, the diaphragm reopens to maximum
aperture completely automatically and you are ready to
compose, focus, and shoot your next pictures. If you wish to
visually check exact depth-of-field before making the
exposure, move the preview lever to "M" Manual) position.
This stops the diaphragm to the aperture selected and shows
you exactly how much depth-of-field will appear in your
picture. The preview lever may be moved back to "A"
(automatic) position before or after making your exposure,
or, if you are making pictures in bright sunlight, it may be
left in manual position, which permits a constant ('heck of
depth-of-field.
* When the exposure meter switch is turned to the "on position, the lens diaphragm
changes from the automatic to manual position even though the preview lever is in the
"A" (automatic) position. When the shutter is released, the lens diaphragm will
automatically return to its automatic position if the lever is set on "A".
Do not leave that switch on (UP) for a long time as it will drain you battery.View original page 12Page 13 · Read text

Shutter
Turn the shutter speed dial clock. wise or counter-clockwise to
the shutter speed desired. The shutter speed may be set either
before or after winding the rapid wind lever. As you wind the
shutter by turning the rapid wind lever, the "wind" indicator
turns to red showing that the shutter is wound.
The indicator window blacks out as you trip the shutter button.
For use of the X setting on the shutter speed dial, refer to page
17.
With the shutter speed dial set on B (bulb), the shutter will stay
open as long as you depress the shutter button. As you release
your finger from the shutter button, the shutter closes. When a
long exposure is desired while using the B setting, attach a
shutter release cable with a locking device to the shutter
button. This will permit a "Time" exposure.
Cautions
1. At slow speeds-slower than 1/30 - support your camera rigidly or use a tripod to prevent movement of your
camera.
2. To protect the shutter mechanism, trip the shutter release before putting the camera out of use for any
extended period.
For example, if the lens opening of f/8 is to be used,
the range on the distance scale ring covered within the
figure 8 on the depth-of-field guide indicates the area
in focus at the lens opening. You will note from the
depth-of-field guide in the photograph that the range

www.butkus.us Range of light measurement The exposure meter of the Spotmatic measures the brightness of the ground glass. Therefore, the meter should be turned on after you have focused your subject on the ground glass. The following table shows the range of the meter's light measurement, and should not be interpreted as the camera's total range of f/stop- shutter speed combinations. As you will note from the table below, with an ASA100 film, you may use any shutter speed from 1 sec. to 1/1000 sec. in combination with any aperture that will bring the meter needle to the midpoint in the viewfinder. The total range of the aperture settings is, of course, determined by the minimum and maximum apertures of the lens being used. For example, with the 50mm f/1.4 lens and ASA100 film, an aperture from f/1.4 (the maximum aperture of this lens) to f/16 (the minimum aperture) may be used with any shutter speed from 1 sec. to 1/1000 sec. that will bring the meter needle to midpoint.

How to check it
1. Set the shutter speed dial to B (bulb) position.
2. Turn the ASA dial to ASA 100.
3. Push the meter switch to "on" position.
Look at the meters needle through the
viewfinder. If the needle rapidly drops, the
meter battery has sufficient capacity; if it does
not, replace the mercury battery.
How to replace it
Open the battery housing cover on the bottom cover plate with a coin. Remove old battery and insert new
battery with (+) side toward the top of the camera. For replacement, use Mallory PX-400 or RM-400-R or
equivalent.
You must get a Wein Air battery to replace it. I have heard you can replace it with a alkaline battery, but
must have the meter adjusted due to the higher voltage (1.35v against the alkaline 1.5v)
See this link on a Wein Air replacement battery.View original page 16Page 17 · Read text
www.butkus.us CAUTION: The mercury battery is like a phonograph record. It can be damaged by skin acids. Handle by the edges with a dry cloth only. Be sure the battery is cleaned with the cloth before insertion into the camera. The battery is not rechargeable. DANGER: A serious accident has been reported d of a small child who ho has put a mercury battery into his mouth and has been hospitalized for serious gripes and stomach inflammation. Please always keep a battery from the reach of small children Flash synchronization The Honeywell Pentax has two sets of terminals --FP and X. The table below shows which flash contact, which shutter speed and which flash bulb may be combined for maximum lamp efficiency. Unless these combinations are rigidly followed, there will be a failure in flash synchronization. Note the "X" setting is exactly at the 60 marked on the speed dial. This indicates the highest shutter speed at which Honeywell Strobonars or other electronic flash units may be used. Self-timer Depending upon how far down you turn the self-timer winding lever 1, it will release the shutter in 5-13 seconds. When operating the self-timer, always depress the self-timer release button 2 to release the shutter. Do not depress the shutter button... it will immediately release the shutter without delayed action. The self. timer winding lever should be turned down at least 90° or the release button will not operate.View original page 17

Important notes
1. A spare mercury battery for the light meter is in the small
pocket located in the inside upper portion of the camera case.
2. Always keep the meter switched off when not actually taking
readings. Leaving the meter switched on will rapidly exhaust
the battery. It is also necessary to keep the meter switched off
when mounting a Super-Takumar lens on the Spotmatic camera
body. If it is switched on, the tip of the automatic diaphragm
release pin of the lens will hit the pin release plate inside the
camera body and it may get damaged.
3. When removing the Super-Takumar 50mm f 1.4 lens from
the camera body, do not place it on its threaded end without the
rear mount cap in place, or you will scratch its rear element
lens. Never take off lens with meter on ! ! You can bent the
aperture pin.
4. When the index of the shutter speeds turns to red, it indicates
that the shutter and film speed settings are off the meters
measurability range. Change the shutter speed setting to a faster
or slower setting. Refer to page 15.View original page 18Page 19 · Read text
www.butkus.us
5. When the meter is switched on, the lens any Super-Takumar
lens) is in its manual position even when the diaphragm preview
lever is in "A" (automatic) position. When the meter is switched
off manually, or automatically after shutter release, the lens
returns to its automatic position when it is set in "A" position.
6. Exposure increase factors which apply when taking pictures
with filters, close-ups, macro- and micro-photos. do not apply to
the Spotmatic.
7. Do not use the new Super-Takumar 50mm f 1.4 lens
with any other camera or any other Honeywell Pentax
model except with models H3v and H1a, having orange-
colored "R" marking on the film rewind knob, or you
will damage the rear element of the lens.
8. The length of the tripods screw should not exceed the
normal length of 3/16" 4.5mm). Do not extend it longer than
this length when mounting your camera on tripod. Forcing
longer screws into the tripod socket of the camera will
damage the mechanism.
NO!
9. We do not guarantee the quality of photographs when
brands other than Takumar lenses and Pentax accessories,
such as lens extenders, are used.
INTERCHANGEABLE LENSES
The Honeywell Pentax offers many interchangeable lenses in a wide variety of focal lengths, all of which are
highly respected by both professional and amateur photographers for their fine resolution. The photographic
coverage Of the various Takumar lenses is illustrated on page 21. With focal length longer than 55mm, the
subject image is seen through the viewfinder larger than its life size.
Regardless of the lens selected for your Honeywell Pentax, there is never need for an accessory viewfinder,
ordinarily required for rangefinder type cameras. When interchanging lenses, hold the lens by the distance scale
ring. When attaching a lens, filter, or lens hood, do not screw it too tightly, as you may find it difficult to
remove.
FIXED FOCUSING SETTING
Because of the considerable depth of field of wide-angle lenses, you can use them as fixed focus lens-if the diaphragm and distance
scales are set properly. For your convenience, the Super-Takumar lenses shown on page 22 have a fixed focus mark. Just align with
the index the orange-colored figures of the diaphragm and distance scales, and the lens will be in fixed focus from foreground to
infinity. You'll find this extremely convenient for fast shooting.View original page 19Page 20 · Read text
Resolving Power of Takumar Lenses Resolving power of all Takumar lenses is factory-tested by skilled optical engineers. There are three types of tests: microscopic aerial test, projection test and photographed film test. Resolving power of a lens shown by LPM (lines per mm) varies depending upon the method of resolution test. Takumar lenses have been tested for resolving power to conform to Asahi Optical Company standards which are higher than those set by JIS (Japan Industrial Standards). All Takumar lenses bear the seal of the Japan Camera Inspection Institute which insures the highest standards of performance When testing your lens performance . . .Use a slow-speed fine grain film. Generally, high speed films are grainy and are not suitable for resolution test. Support your camera on a good tripod. Use a shutter release cable to prevent camera movement. The definition of the picture on the negative film may decrease if exposure and developing time are not proper. Time your exposure and development correctly. If you do your own developing and enlarging, see that your enlarger uses a fine quality enlarger lens. If it is not of a fine quality, your pictures can never be sharp no matter what superb lenses are mounted on your camera. Usually, the diaphragm of the enlarger should be closed down to f/8 or f/11.View original page 20

By inserting any or all of the extension tubes
between the camera body and the Takumar lens,
subjects as close as 3 35/64 inches from the front
of 55mm lens may be photographed. By adding
more extension tubes, close-ups as close as the
focal length of the lens may be easily and simply
photographed.
The extension tube set consists of 3 rings: #1, #2
and #3; 9.5mm, 19.0mm and 28.5mm respectively.
These rings may be used in combination as
desired. Ring #1 is suited for moderate close-up
work as in copying documents. When all extension
tubes are used simultaneously with the 55mm lens,
the subject may be enlarged on the film to a
magnification of 1.04 of the life size. Such
extreme close-up photography is a special
advantage of the single lens reflex camera because
there is no parallax problem and you do not need
an accessory viewfinder as is ordinarily required
for rangefinder type cameras.
SLIDE COPIER
Use this with the Bellows II for duplicating your color slides.
You will never use this. There are "T" mount slide copier devices you can buy.
They will work much better, fancier ones have zoom lenses.
