bestseller Spotmatic

Bringing together a well-regarded f/1.4 lens and a trim and attractive body had won the Spotmatic many fans. However the ad copy seems to be trying to fend off questions about its metering pattern which averages over the whole frame.

 

The original 1960 Spotmatic prototype had featured spot metering—heck, it was the origin of the model's name. And spot metering had become a feature other SLR brands bragged about.. Nikon had even reversed course from its original averaging system, with the Nikkormat FTN and Photomic TN finder.
