According to the AHOC website, ( http://www.aohc.it/slr02e.htm ) both
the SPF and ESII were introduced in 1973, the introduction may have been
simultaneous. Then again I saw ESII cameras in stores before SPF
cameras. I can only go by my experience.

The Electro Spotmatics, and ES cameras actually came first. Maybe even
the ESII camera was introduced before the Spotmatic F.

Is the F a "later model"...
Yes, it is the last mechanical Spotmatic. Then came the
Electro-Spotmatics.
how do I see if a Spotmatic can handle 1.5 volt batteries?
They can all handle the 1.5 battery. All the details at
