This is the Asahi Pentax, the very first 35mm SLR produced by the Asahi Optical Company of Japan to use a pentaprism viewfinder. T...he camera is often referred to as the Pentax AP by collectors even though that was never officially documented. The other camera is the Asahi Pentax K, the second variant of the camera produced in 1958 which upgrades the camera with a semi automatic diaphragm. Both the Asahi Pentax and Pentax K were hand built cameras produced in Japan and are sought after by collectors not only for their history, but their looks and performance. Some would say, these are the most beautiful SLR cameras ever produced in Japan.
