Asahi Pentax (Original)

Dating back to 1957, the original Asahi Pentax camera was the successor to the Asahiflex SLR camera.  This camera makes use of the M42 threaded lens mount and features an eye-level prism, folding rewind crank, and rapid advance film lever.  The camera does not have automatic aperture diaphragm capabilities, so the aperture had to be stopped down manually, prior to exposure.  The shutter speed range is split between two dials, a high speed dial on top of the camera and a low speed dial on the camera's face.  The Asahi Pentax does not have an in-camera meter.
