Asahi Pentax ME Super

{"overview":"The Asahi Pentax ME Super is a compact 35mm SLR introduced in 1979 as an upgrade to the earlier ME, using the Pentax K bayonet mount. Today in 2026 the camera sells for modest money at saleroom level — it is a common model, so buyers pay for cosmetic condition and a confirmed-working shutter rather than rarity, and kits including a 50mm lens tend to reach the upper end of that range.","buying_guide":"The ME Super relies on an electronic shutter, so check that all speeds fire, the aperture-priority meter tracks through the LED display in the finder, and the mirror does not hang — a weak mirror magnet is a known issue on the M-series bodies. Light seals commonly perish and are easy to replace, but inspect the push-button shutter speed switches for responsiveness, as worn contacts are harder to fix.
