Spot Meter

This precise all-around exposure system provides proper exposure even under difficult lighting situations. The system provides accurate spot metering (10% of the picture area) with wide-open aperture using SX lenses. Stopped-down spot metering is also possible with other than SX lenses. This extra special feature puts you in complete command over any picture-taking opportunity whether in bright sunlight, shaded areas, or in low light.

Manufacturer description #2

CAMERA TYPE: 35mm Single Lens Reflex with behind-the-lens, spot readings, full aperture metering system.

FILM SIZE AND CAPACITY: Perforated 35mm film in standard 20 or 36 exposure cartridges.

LENS MOUNT: Universal thread mount (42mm) with locking pin.

SHUTTER: Focal plane with speeds from 1 to 1/ 1000 second and B for time exposures. Built-in variable delay self-timer.

EXPOSURE CONTROL: CdS cell positioned on the back of the reflex mirror (spot system). The metering system is cross coupled to the shutter speed control, film speed dial, and diaphragm mechanism on all automatic SX lenses. This system accurately measures light at full aperture with Mamiya/Sekor SX lenses. With other universal thread mount lenses, the metering system will operate in the stop-down mode. The film advance lever switches the metering system on and actuates the diaphragm mechanism on all automatic SX lenses.

METER SENSITIVITY: ASA 25 to 3200; DIN 15 to 36

VIEWFINDER: Pentaprism type with micro-diaprism center spot on Fresnel screen for rapid focusing. Brackets visible in finder indicate location of spot meter reading area (10% of field). Exposure needle and reference points indicate necessary exposure adjustments.

FLASH SYNCHRONIZATION: Two separate flash contacts are provided, marked "FP" and "X". Proper selection of terminals allows correct synchronization for all types of flash pictures. A built-in "hot shoe" accessory bracket is located atop the viewfinder, for use with cordless flash units.

REFLEX MIRROR: Instant return type

FILM ADVANCE: Ratchet type film advance lever transports film, cocks shutter, and advances exposure counter in a single stroke (160 deg.) or by a number of shorter strokes .

EXPOSURE COUNTER: Progressive type, reads from "S" (start) to 36. Counter automatically resets to "S" when film compartment door is opened.
