The Pentax Spotmatic (SP) is a 35mm single-lens reflex camera introduced by Asahi Optical in the mid-1960s, named for its through-the-lens metering system. The black-finish version was offered alongside the more common chrome body and is generally less frequently encountered, which influences its value on the used market today.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the black Spotmatic have sat in the £100–£150 range across the two recorded sales, with a median around £125. With only a small sample of saleroom results to go on, condition and cosmetic completeness of the harder-to-find black finish are the main factors in what each example sells for in 2026.
