After
you have been collecting cameras for a while and your friends get wind of it,
as they are cleaning out their closets or basement they might put something
in a crumbling leather case aside to give you. This is one of those cameras
I was happy to receive.
Launched in 1969, the Sensomat had TTL CdS stop-down meter built in under
mirror; an advanced feature for its day. The meter is operated by the two buttons
next to lens throat. At the time it was known as the poorman's Nikon F as it
sported a removable prism like the F. The Sensomat sold reasonably well as
a budget SLR during the 70's.
