Pentax's compact enthusiast SLR — LED metering with aperture-priority and manual in a tiny body.
The Pentax ME Super was released approximately 1980 as a compact aperture-priority and manual 35mm film SLR for Pentax K-mount. At approximately 385g. Touch-sensitive shutter speed buttons for manual speed selection.
Pentax K mount. Aperture-priority AE and manual modes. Touch-sensitive +/- shutter speed control buttons (no shutter speed dial in manual mode). At approximately 385g. 35mm film.
The ME Super updates the ME with manual exposure mode: the original ME had aperture-priority only; the ME Super adds manual control via touch-sensitive +/- buttons on the shutter release rather than a traditional dial. At 385g the ME Super was one of the most compact manual-capable SLRs of its era. Compatible with all Pentax K-mount lenses.
On the used market the Pentax ME Super is affordable as a compact vintage film SLR. Condition checks: touch-button shutter speed controls function, aperture-priority AE, light seals, battery compartment. Pentax K mount.
