Asahi Pentax Camera

I love looking at early advertisements of film cameras. I have collected hundreds of these advertisements, printed in magazines that I have in my possession dating over the last century. Here is one Ad from the magazine Time, dated 8 March 1968. The camera that is being promoted is a Asahi Pentax Camera.

Look at an Asahi Pentax before you invest in a fine camera. Hold one. Handle it. Get it in shooting position. Note how remarkably well-balanced it is.Look through the crystal-clear, eye-level viewfinder. Try the precise, functionally located controls. Feel the satin-smooth chrome - the richly grained leather. Notice the small compact size. The choice of professionals, both the Asahi Pentax "Spotmatic" (with built-in through-the-lens light meter) and the "SV" are the smallest of all 35mm single-lens reflex cameras. They're lightweight, yet each is a highly durable, incredibly precise machine that lets you take magnificent pictures. Get hold of one soon. It's all you need for a lifetime of photographic pleasure.
