Fair
All items marked as FAIR may have flaws that may affect their functionality. Even if the camera or lens doesn’t perform at peak precision, or isn't in prime cosmetic condition, it still functions.

The Pentax Spotmatic SPF is a classic 35mm SLR renowned for its rugged build, reliable mechanics, and M42 screw-mount compatibility. Featuring open-aperture TTL metering, it improves on earlier Spotmatic models by allowing real-time exposure readings with compatible Super-Multi-Coated (SMC) Takumar lenses. The fully mechanical shutter operates without batteries, ensuring dependable performance, while the bright viewfinder and intuitive controls make for an effortless shooting experience. A favorite among film enthusiasts, the Spotmatic SPF delivers vintage charm with precise, hands-on control.
