Manual focus M42 mount 35mm SLR released by Pentax in 1971. It is virtually identical to the normal SP, just without a self timer. Despite the shutter speed dial only going up to 1/500s, the camera can use 1/1000s if you rotate the dial to the empty space between 1/500s and bulb. The light meter was made to use a 1.3v mercury battery. Metal body available in silver grey.
