Asahi Pentax H2 – 1959

Chris and Carol

Hands down, it’s my favorite pre-1960s SLR. It just looks classic. A photo essay follows.

Fine lines on a classic that’s stood the test of time.
The H2 and the S2 were the same cameras released in different markets.
How can you not love this camera?
Uncluttered.
Chrome on chrome.
Simple lines.
Love all the satin chrome!
The heart of this camera is the classic Auto-Takumar f2 55mm gem.
There aren’t many ads out there with early Asahi Pentax content. I’m not sure if this is for the H2.

Thanks for stopping by, Chris
