[1] The Japanese company Pentax was the first manufacturer to show an early prototype 35 mm behind-the-lens metering SLR camera, which was named the Pentax Spotmatic. The camera was shown at the 1960 photokina show. The first TTL light metering SLR was the 1963 Topcon RE Super, which had the CdS metering cell placed behind the reflex mirror.
Pentax Corporation (ペンタックス株式会社, Pentakkusu Kabushiki gaisha) was a Japanese camera and optical equipment manufacturer. Currently, it exists as the Pentax Life Care Business Division of Hoya's medical endoscope business, as well as the digital camera brand of Ricoh Imaging, a subsidiary of Ricoh.
It was Pentax's flagship professional SLR until the introduction of the Pentax LX.

However, the MX was designed as the mechanical twin sister of the remarkably successful entry-level Pentax ME.

But Asahi decided, wisely, that a center weighted meter would give better photos across the broad spectrum of scenes and that spotmeters were difficult for beginners to use (not everyone is a Ansel Adam's Zone freak).
