You are bidding on this nice Gently Used Pentax ME Super 35mm Camera. The camera is in very good working condition, but will probably need new batteries. I am unsure of the exact age of the camera. It is a nice, usable camera, and comes with some booklets about the camera and parts that can be added or removed. This camera also comes with a zoom lens, that zooms from 80mm to 200mm 1:4.5, and the lens has a built in hood. Gently Used Asahi Pentax ME Super 35mm Reflex Camera with Zoom Lens - VGC Description You are bidding on this nice Gently Used Pentax ME Super 35mm Camera. The camera is in very good working condition, but will probably need new batteries. I am unsure of the exact age of the camera. It is a nice, usable camera, and comes with some booklets about the camera and parts that can be added or removed. This camera also comes with a zoom lens, that zooms from 80mm to 200mm 1:4.5, and the lens has a built in hood. The ME Super has an electronic focal plane shutter with metal curtains and a vertical movement. Shutter speeds are selected with up and down buttons rather than the conventional wheel. They run from 4 seconds to 1/2000 of a second, with flash synchronisation at 1/125 of a second. The hotshoe features an additional shoe contact for dedicated Pentax flash units, not seen on the preceding ME. In the event of battery failure, the camera can continue to operate at a shutter speed of 1/125 of a second. This feature was lost in later, more fully automatic models such as the Pentax Super-A, contributing to the long-lasting popularity of the ME Super. Two LR44 (or equivalent) batteries power the camera. The camera has a 0.95x viewfinder, covering 92% of the field. The finder screen is fixed, with a split image and a microprism ring in the centre. The exposure meter is a TTLopen aperture centre-weighted type. The shutter speed chosen by the camera or the user is displayed in the finder, the aperture is not. LEDs display the shutter speed and inform of over/under exposure, possibility of shake, use of the EV-compensation and use of Manual mode. The selector around the release button has five positions: L (lock), Auto, M (manual), 125x, and B. The Pentax ME Super can attach to the external winder ME (1.5 i/s) or the later Winder ME II (2i/s) and can also mount a Dial Data ME databack, or the later Digital Data M databack via a cord adapter. As with some other M series cameras, there is a window next to the winder arm which indicates film movement, and assists the user in rewinding film into the cassette without losing the tip of the film. The lenses are interchangeable with the K bayonet mount, and a series of SMC Pentax-M compact lenses were introduced during the lifetime of the M series models. The body was available with a chrome or black finish on the upper parts and base (the central body being always black). There was a special edition called ME Super SE, only sold in chrome finish; the differences are the SE marking and the diagonal instead of horizontal split-image device in the focusing screen.
