About This Camera

A rare Pentax S3 in Black finish paired with a Super-Takumar 55mm F1.8 lens in Near MINT condition, sourced directly from Japan. The Pentax S3 is a classic fully mechanical 35mm film SLR from the early Asahi Pentax era, and the black body variant is significantly rarer than the standard chrome version — making this an exceptional find for Pentax collectors and film photography enthusiasts. This example has been professionally serviced with a new light seal and internally cleaned viewfinder.
