• In 1971, Asahi Optical Corporation released a series of cameras. The first was the Spotmatic SPII, its flagship model and the second was the SP500 which was designated the budget model.

  Unfortunately, Asahi didn t know how to make a budget model so all they did was change the shutter speed dial to make 1 500 the top speed and not 1 1000. But all they changed was the painting etching on the dial and not the shutter mechanism itself. So you can actually turn the dial one more click past 1 500 and get a 1 1000 sec shutter speed.

  So other than that oddness, the SP500 is identical to the SPII
