Hello everyone! I've just come to appreciate the elegance and beauty of Asahi Pentax cameras. Mine arrived about two weeks ago from Japan. It's labeled as an S2 but I suspect it may be a Super S2.

I'm hoping to get a half case for it but I'm not having any luck finding one.

Have a good day, everyone!

Welcome aboard and that's a gorgeous looking camera. And hopefully it works as good as it looks!

Excellent find !

Yep, that looks like a S2-Super. It has the 1000 marking on the shutter speed dial.
It also has the automatic resetting frame counter.

These are my two favorites. Both are in Mint condition and have been cleaned and serviced by Eric.

The cases are well made and reasonably priced. The maker also offers a strap in matching leather. You can find him on Etsy and eBay. The are the only half cases custom made for the MX as far as I know, and I’ve searched pretty extensively.

I used the advanced search and did a search under seller name - 'he' is there based out of China - multiple variations on leather covers at reasonable prices. Has a shop account.

Ah. My mistake, then. Apologies.

This is my SP1000. Had it CLA'd by Eric and have put half a dozen rolls of HP5 through it. Sure is a pleasure to use with the Auto-Takumar 55mm f/2... also, it is often sporting a Super-Takumar 35mm f/3.5 -both nice small lenses that are good for a hike!
