THE END OF THE LINE ---------------- Twenty Five years of the Screw Mount Takumar Lens: Beginning in May 1952 with the Asahiflex I, Asahi Optical Company began producing 35mm SLR cameras with screw mount lenses. This continued on to the first ASAHI Pentax (AP) produced in May 1957, the first Pentax Spotmatic SP produced in July 1964, and through all the Spotmatic models up to and including the second production series of the Spotmatic SP II, that along with the Spotmatic 1000, ceased production in January 1977 as the final Screw Mount model Pentax 35mm SLR cameras to be produced, at which time the bayonet mount Pentax K 1000 superseded its Spotmatic 1000 predecessor, and the famed Takumar name was changed to Pentax to distinguish the new bayonet mount lens from Asahi's 25 year old line of screw mount lenses. In addition, this would be the final camera branded for the U.S. market with the Honeywell name, thus ending the almost 25 year relationship between Asahi, and it's two U.S. distributors, Sears & Roebuck (Tower 22, 23, 24, 26, and 29) and starting with the H2, Honeywell (Heiland) as commencing with the K-1000, all bodies were branded Asahi. Here is a very clean and serviceable ASAHI Pentax SP 1000 - perfect for any collection. In very nice condition, the photos of the back show some minor scratching from what was likely a flash shoe attachment, or a meter. The SP 1000 was manufactured  between October 1974 and January 1977.  It was not released within the Japanese market, and is in fact, nothing more than the release of the original Spotmatic SP without the self timer. Everything appears to work as designed. Comes complete with the f/2.0 55mm Super Takumar and cap, along with a black Pentax leather case and a 49mm UV Filter. The lens is in outstanding condition with no fungus or cloudiness. The case is in very good shape for its age.
