Clip-on Meter SL

The Asahi Pentax CdS Clip-on Exposure Meter is an accurate exposure meter, and it is easy to use properly. It is extremely sensitive and highly selective. As its name implies, it simply clips onto your Asahi Pentax, and couples directly to the shutter speed dial. It is light, compact, and fits your camera like a glove.  Unlike a glove, however, this precision instrument will help you take better pictures by showing you the proper shutter speed and aperture to use in order to correctly expose your film.

Features

Honeywell Pentax SL Body When the Asahi Pentax Spotmatic was introduced to the public at the 1969 Photokina, the photographic World's Fair in Cologne, Germany, it attracted immediate and keen attention.  Not available for purchase at that time, it was a model of the advanced features and design that would be incorporated into cameras in the future.
Four years of intensive research, exhaustive experiments and intensive testing followed before it became available to serious amateur and professional photographers in late 1964. Honeywell Pentax SL Body

The traditional classic design and simple elegance associated with the earlier models of the famous Asahi Pentax have been retained in the Spotmatic despite the incorporation of many highly advanced features. 

Meticulously constructed by master craftsmen, the Asahi Pentax cameras remain the standard of excellence and precision in the world of 35mm single-lens-reflex cameras.
