Camera Model: Pentax ME Super with 50mm f/1.7 Lens
Serial: #3050650
Description
The Pentax ME Super is one of the most compact, elegant, and beloved 35mm SLRs of the mechanical era. Improving on its predecessor (the ME), the Super introduced manual exposure controls alongside its legendary Aperture-Priority mode, creating a wonderfully flexible tool for photographers who want effortless automatic shooting but value full creative control when inspiration strikes.
Its crowning jewel is the viewfinder. It is remarkably vast, bright, and easy to focus through, outshining many cameras twice its physical size. Shutter speeds are selected via tactile push-buttons next to the film advance lever, with clear LED indicators inside the viewfinder keeping you fully informed without taking your eye away from the frame.
This kit comes paired with the outstanding SMC Pentax-M 50mm f/1.7 lens. Renowned for its ultra-compact “pancake” profile, incredible sharpness, and superb color rendition, it makes the entire setup small enough to slip into a coat pocket. It is a fantastic, lightweight companion for street photography, travel, and everyday analog documentation.
