| Honeywell Pentax 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 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 exposure 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.

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. 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.) |
How to hold your camera
| In horizontal position A. Hold the camera firmly with your left hand, and draw your arm close to your body. | In vertical position B. Hold your camera tightly to your forehead with your left hand, and draw your right arm close to your body. | In vertical position C. Hold your camera tightly to your forehead with your left hand, raise your arm and draw your left arm to your body. |
 |
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. |

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.
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. |
| 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. |
|
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 from approximately 10 to
25 feet is in focus. Note that as the lens apertures change, the effective depth
of field also changes. For the depth of fields at different apertures and
distances. Depth of field is the range between the nearest and farthest distances which are in focus at different lens apertures. |
| Depth of field
If you want to know how great the depth of field is at a certain aperture, look at the depth-of-field guide. In the above photograph, the distance scale is set at 15 feet . . . the lens is focused on a subject 15 feet away. The calibrations on each side of the distance index correspond to the diaphragm setting and indicate the range of in-focus distance for different lens apertures. |
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. |
Mercury battery
|
|
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.
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. |
|
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. |
|
|
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! |
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. |
| 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. |

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. |

Mercury Battery The mercury battery should be kept dry. Don't touch it with your finger unnecessarily. Before inserting it into its housing, wipe its surface completely with a dry piece of cloth. Don't try to measure the short current or to charge the battery, to prevent rapid deterioration. Don't throw a used battery into fire ... it may explode. Keep the battery out of the camera's battery housing when you do not intend to use it for a lengthy period of time. See page 16. You must buy Wein Air batteries, mercury batteries are illegal in U.S. Buy a couple as they only last 3 - 6 months. If not used for a long time, cover the air holes as that's how they operate. They produce power when the holes are uncovered.
