The lenses are interchangeable with the K bayonet mount, and a series of SMC Pentax-M compact lenses were introduced during the lifetime of the M series models. The Pentax ME Super can attach to the external winder ME (1.5 i/s) or the later Winder ME II (2i/s) and can also mount a Dial Data ME databack, or the later Digital Data M databack via a cord adapter.Īs with some other M series cameras, there is a window next to the winder arm which indicates film movement, and assists the user in rewinding film into the cassette without losing the tip of the film. The selector around the release button has five positions: L (lock), Auto, M (manual), 125x, and B.

Pentax ME Super supports a manual ISO range from 12 - 1600 ASA which can be configured using a dial located on the top of the camera. LEDs display the shutter speed and inform of over/under exposure, possibility of shake, use of the EV-compensation and use of Manual mode. The shutter speed chosen by the camera or the user is displayed in the finder, the aperture is not. The exposure meter is a TTL open aperture centre-weighted type. The finder screen is fixed, with a split image and a microprism ring in the centre. The camera has a 0.95x viewfinder, covering 92% of the field. Two LR44 (or equivalent) batteries power the camera. This feature was lost in later, more fully automatic models such as the Pentax Super-A, contributing to the long-lasting popularity of the ME Super.

In the event of battery failure, the camera can continue to operate at a shutter speed of 1/125 of a second.

The hotshoe features an additional shoe contact for dedicated Pentax flash units, not seen on the preceding ME. They run from 4 seconds to 1/2000 of a second, with flash synchronisation at 1/125 of a second. Shutter speeds are selected with up and down buttons rather than the conventional wheel. The ME Super has an electronic focal plane shutter with metal curtains and a vertical movement. Since the ME Super was a better-specified camera than the ME, a second model was introduced at the same time as the lower-end replacement for the ME: the short-lived Pentax MV model, quickly replaced by the Pentax MV1. The ME Super added a manual mode to the feature set of the ME. Both feature semi-automatic (aperture priority) operation, and are part of the Pentax M series which included the manual Pentax MX and briefly the semi-automatic, automatic-focus Pentax ME F. The camera was a development of (and one of two replacements for) the Pentax ME. The Pentax ME Super is a highly successful 35 mm single-lens reflex camera produced by Pentax of Japan between 19.
