Hi all. Grüezi (Greetings) from Switzerland. I’m Sarah. The only Pentax I currently own, is a Pentax ME Super. I mainly use it with a SMC A 50mm f/1.7 MF lens. I am curious to test out new lenses and to learn more about this camera from others’ experiences. I enjoy taking portraits of people, and landscapes (using other cameras too). I got introduced to this forum by r0ckstarr (Thank you). It’s nice to meet you all.

Welcome

lots of friendly members and knowledge can be found here

if you ask for opinions on what to buy - camera bodies or lenses you might get a suggestion or two

seriously there are " in depth " reviews and user reviews under " Cameras " and " Lenses " above

Quote:

Description:
The Pentax ME Super improved upon the original ME by introducing two push buttons on the top plate allowing the user to electronically dial in the desired shutter speed, giving him or her much more flexibility when shooting manually. This design was later carried over to the ME F (Pentax's first autofocus camera) and the Super A (which could set the aperture automatically and hence provided Tv and Program automation in addition to the Av and M exposure modes of the ME Super).

Other improvements over the ME was a faster top shutter speed of 1/2000 s and a warning light in the view finder when EV compensation was engaged.

Variants:
PENTAX ME Super: The original
PENTAX ME Super SE: A 'Special Edition' version was released in later years, featuring a diagonal split screen rather than a horizontal one

The SMC Pentax-A 50mm F1.7 is a fast standard lens shipped with many 1980's Pentax bodies. It supports all exposure modes.

Welcome Grüezi from New Zealand!

I have a ME Super too. It doesn't get used much these days, now that I have a K-1. On of the great things about Pentax is the backward lens compatibility and so pretty much any lens can be used (in the case of the ME Super - as long as the lens has an aperture ring).
