Honeywell Pentax ES Film Camera

The Honeywell Pentax ES is a 35mm SLR camera built around Pentax’s M42 screw mount lens system, representing an early electronically controlled SLR produced under the Honeywell Pentax branding used for the North American market distribution of Asahi Pentax cameras. It features an electronically controlled shutter with aperture priority automatic exposure, allowing the camera to select the appropriate shutter speed based on the chosen aperture and metered light level, alongside manual exposure control. The through-the-lens open aperture metering system provides exposure assessment at maximum aperture for a bright viewfinder image, and the electronic shutter requires battery power for operation across its full range of speeds. The robust all-metal construction reflects the build standards of Pentax’s professional and enthusiast SLR lineup of its era. Compatible with the broad range of M42 screw mount lenses and adaptable to mirrorless systems via standard M42 adapters.
