    The item I ordered was very carefully packed with plenty of packing material and arrived in excellent condition! From the description, I thought there might be some minimal wear, but it appears to be in excellent condition! It arrived w/in the time period promised. It's evident that this seller takes pride in satisfying his customers. The price was reasonable, but I felt the shipping fee was a bit excessive (about 25% of the cost of the item), but otherwise I was completely satisfied.

    Appreciate the feedback! FYI...I only charged what it costs through USPS Ground Advantage.....It was the size that pushed the price up.....wish it wasn't so expensive!

    Superb small camera. I use two, one for color and the other for B&W. Direct rival to OM1...can be even simpler to operate.

    Great design well executed.

    29 Mar, 2017Most critical review

    I thought it would be just fine.

    I immediately ran a roll of 36 exp. black and white film through the camera and it came out fine. My son is taking a photography class and needed a film SLR. He ran a roll of 24 exp black and white and it was fine. Then when he loaded a third roll of film into it and took a shot the mirror stuck open. It needs a full repair (says the camera shop). Not an easy fix, and it's past the 14 day return period. So I am very unhappy! I used an older Pentax ME for years and years and loved it. I wanted to upgrade to the ME Super so that he could use it on Manual and get shutter or aperture preferred ability. I'm really really disappointed that the camera worked for so little time. It's an electronic shutter so the camera shop person thought that it might be the batteries. One of the batteries tested ...

    Compare Pentax ME Super with the OM series

    It is obvious that the engineers at Pentax designed their ME Super to compete with the Olympus OM series cameras. For the most part they all do the same thing... take wonderful photographs. The major difference I saw with the Pentax as compared to the Olympus is that they did some cost cutting by not dampening the mirror; there is considerable more noise and internal shake as compared to the OM (single number series). But I still like this camera. Most of the time, photographers shoot 1/60 sec. and faster. The camera shake is not prevalent at those speeds. I think the practicality of adjusting the shutter speeds via the buttons on the top next to the shutter release is much easier than the OM cameras with the inner ring on the lens mount. This is especially for those with large hands ...

    Pentax ME Super

    Camera in very good condition. This is one of my favorites, with the Olympus OM1 and the Canon Elan 7Ne. I have 3 digital cameras, but nothing more gratifying than the film experience, and the beautiful sound of these perfect engineered machines.

    Pentax ME Super

    This was the first 35mm camera I ever owned. It is simple to operate. I purchased this camera body to replace the original which had a film advance malfunction. This is the only flaw I have ever had with this camera. Lots of people have had this same problem. This mechanism just doesn't last.
