Pentax ME Super 35mm Camera Body, Chrome (AS-IS)

The Pentax ME Super is a classic, highly compact 35mm SLR film camera originally released in 1979 as part of Pentax’s iconic M-series lineup. Known for its lightweight metal construction, ultra-large and bright optical viewfinder, and intuitive push-button manual shutter controls, it offers both aperture-priority auto exposure and full manual exposure modes. Built around the versatile K-mount lens system, the ME Super reached peak popularity for offering advanced SLR capabilities in one of the smallest metal camera bodies of its era.
