Aging PENTAX ME Super SLR still shines superbly
2 of 2 found this helpful When I was in my late teens and early twenties I bought a Pentax ME Super as the next step up in my SLR camera's. I added a Pentax 28mm prime and 80-200 zoom lens to my kit and loved every piece of it. It never let me down and always produced superb pictures in both manual and automatic modes.
I used to take a lot of slides and used them for some presentation work, and even blown up to that degree the images were always clear and accurate.
Some time later I moved on to Contax SLR's and Zeiss lenses, and have for a number of years also collected older rangefinder and SLR camera's and have been keen on my old Olympus OM1's and OM2's and Olympus lenses. With the two next to each other, i would say they rate equally in terms of performance and ease of use. The Olympus probably has the greater range of accesories, but these days nobody is buying this type of camera for professional use. The only thing that counts is how nice they are to work with and have a bit of fun with, and the ME Super is just that - Super.
I recently bought on ebay another Pentax ME Super. Opening the box and putting the camera into the palm of my hand was like finding an old friend again. It just feels GOOD. Everything works smoothly, it sits beautifully in the hand, is light to the touch, and the image is bright in the viewfinder and even the standard 50mm F1.7 SMC Pentax lens is great.
Now days of course with our digital camera's this type of camera will usually spend it life in a cupboard, or in a display cabinet like mine. BUT, if your a student and need a very good small 35mm film camera to learn your art, or like me you just like running the odd roll of film through various 'proper' camera's, you'll find this a great camera to start of with, or just to have a play with.

Originally bought the Adodora adapter but it wouldn't allow infinity focusing. This works perfectly. Used with 1 FD and 2 FL lenses. Thanks.
