Asahi Pentax SP1000<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Asahi Pentax SP1000 was my first camera. I bought it in England in 1975 and used it extensively for a number of years. Later when I upgraded to an Olympus OM1, I foolishly lent the Pentax to a friend and never got it back. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I recently found one in good condition online and couldn’t resist it. It is just as I remembered it – built like a tank and with a very satisfying thunk when the shutter is pressed. Although it doesn’t require a battery to operate, I was pleasantly surprised that the meter works with a new battery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shot a couple of rolls of Rollei RPX 100 and was very happy this the results. Not bad for a 46 year old camera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
