The Asahi Pentax S3 was presented at the 1969 Photokina (the world's largest trade fair for photographic and imaging industries). The Pentax S3 was Asahi's first SLR to use the right-hand single-stroke film advance lever. During its production run, the clip-on Asahi Pentax Meter became available, requiring a notch in the shutter-speed dial to engage. Its scale indicates directly the aperture value to be set at the lens. The camera features a 1/1000 sec top shutter speed and a faster Auto-Takumar1: 1.8/55mm standard lens. L'Asahi Pentax S3 a été présenté à Photokina 1969 (le plus grand et important salon de la photographie au monde). Le modèle Pentax S3 était le premier modèle reflex mono-objectif d'Asahi qui utilise le levier droit d'armement rapide. Lors de sa production, le mètre ajustable d'Asahi Pentax est devenu disponible nécessitant une encoche dans la molette de vitesse d’obturation pour s’enclencher. L'échelle indique directement la valeur d'ouverture de la lentille. Cet appareil-photo a une vitesse d'obturation maximale 1/1000 et une lentille standard plus rapide Auto-Takumar 1: 1.8/55m. - Area Notes
