ASAHI PENTAX KM Product No. 23701 ASAHI PENTAX KM is based upon ASAHI PENTAX SPF (23 1 10). Therefore, the different points from SPF are mentioned here in itemized statement. 1. BATTERY SPF KM 1.345V 1.5V (Mercury battery) (Silver oxide battery) 2. KM is not equipped with stop-down metering device but possible for stop-down metering. 3. Galvanometer (J 100) Movable range of the needle for KM is wider than that for SPF. Therefore galvanometer of KM is not interchangcable with that of SPF.
