Originally posted by Cuthbert Nobody hates the ME Super, it's just built to an inferior standard than a MX and especially an original K mount, and I challenge anybody to say otherwise.
Plus, my tech told me that if develops a slow mirror return the damper might be busted and in that case it's very hard to repair, harder than a MX which is already a problem as it's miniaturised in comparison to a full body K.
Personally I think a simple KM or KX are a better choice and better value, if I need aperture priority I prefer a K2 or even more a K2DMD.
I'd not say inferior instead different eg more costly to repair.
If you don't need the semi auto (aperture priority) don't pay for it.
If you get one cheap ok but if it breaks buy another may be easy cheap option.
The foam is easy to replace instructions on web.
