Introduction - Honeywell ESII User Manual

HONEYWELL PENTAX
Your Honeywell Pentax ES II is the most
exciting 35mm SLR camera on the market
today. It comes equipped with a through-the-
lens metering system with focal-plane electronic
shutter for automatic exposure control. The
fully automatic electronic shutter operates just
like an electronic computer assuring you of
perfect exposure everytime. This new electronic
shutter lets you shoot automatically at any
speed between 1/1000 and 8 seconds! If the
exact shutter speed should be 1/459, 1/733 or
1/952 seconds, then that's the shutter speed
that will be automatically selected. Our patent-
ed memory device and electronic shutter make
it possible. There's also an exposure control dial
for intentional over- or under-exposures.
The Pentax ES II is the automatic single-lens
reflex camera that works automatically without
special lenses. It operates automatically with
virtually all Takumar lenses, as well as, bellows,
extension tubes, and other close-up accessories.
The reason is that the automation is incorporat-
ed into body itself, not into the lens. Your
Pentax ES II is equipped with a Super-Multi-
Coated Takumar lens. Exclusively developed by
Pentax, Super-Multi-Coated Takumar lenses re-
duce flare and boost contrast to a degree far
beyond what was previously possible in optical
technology. Your pictures will have more detail
and richer colors than is possible with any other
system at any price.
In addition to the exclusive new features of the
Pentax ES I I , you'll find many of the refine-
ments that have established Pentax as the
leading fine camera maker in the world. The ES
II retains the same traditional compactness and
classic feel. It also is designed for use with the
accessories from the Pentax system, including
all the Takumar lenses ranging from dynamic
wideangle to powerful telephoto. The Pentax
system is ready to grow with you.
The Honeywell Pentax ES II is an excellent
choice in a fine camera. We wish you exciting
photography in the years to come.
