Today I'm sharing the Pentax SP1000, which is very common in the M42 camera world. The version most commonly seen in Taiwan bears the Asahi Optical (旭光學 Asahi) branding, but this particular camera was exported to the U.S. and carries the Honeywell branding instead. The standard lens I paired with this camera is a later version of the SMC Pentax Takumar 55mm f1.8. Its image quality is above average, though personally, I find the Auto Chinon 55mm f1.7 MC to be slightly superior in comparison. Below are a few test photos taken with this setup. The film used was AGFA Vista Plus 400, which had been refrigerated and expired for 9 years and 4 months.
今天分享的是在M42相機領域很常見的 Pentax SP1000， 在台灣常見的版本是有旭光學 Asahi 標誌的相機，而這台相機卻是外銷美國，打上美國品牌 Honeywell 標誌的版本。我搭配在這台相機上的標準鏡頭是後期的 SMC Pentax Takumar 55mm f1.8，成像品質算是中上，個人覺得與 Auto Chnon 55mm f1.7 MC 相比，後者還是比較優，以下是幾張測試照片，底片是冷藏保存過期9年4個月的 AGFA vista plus 400。
