Asahi Pentax ME Super 35mm SLR Film Camera
The Asahi Pentax ME Super is a compact 35mm SLR introduced in 1979 as a refinement of the original ME, adding manual shutter speed control to an otherwise aperture-priority design. It uses the Pentax K-mount and pairs a lightweight metal body with an electronic shutter (4 seconds up to 1/2000 seconds). Controls are minimal and unconventional, relying on push buttons rather than a traditional shutter speed dial, which reflects Pentax’s late-1970s push toward smaller, more streamlined SLRs. The ME Super sits at an intersection between automation and user control, making it a distinctive example of the era’s transition in camera design.

Please note vintage items will show signs of previous use. While we carefully restore each piece to ensure full functionality, cosmetic wear and slight variations from the product photos should be expected.
