I’m sorry
Because we can’t speak english
I am using DeepL translate, so it may be a strange sentence, but I would like you to understand
Thank you.
Today I will introduce you to an Vintage camera.
It is a PENTAX ME SUPER.

PENTAX, a Japanese optical equipment manufacturer, released this camera in December 1979.
It is an auto & manual single-lens reflex camera.
It was the most advanced mechatronic camera of its time, with an LED display for automatic exposure.
The shutter speed is also displayed on the LED in a stepless manner.
The cover of the product catalog at that time reads
The product catalog at the time described the product as “Sensitivity-compatible, Auto & Manual.
It is no exaggeration to say that this is a masterpiece that has influenced other companies.

I have not yet checked the condition since I got it as junk.

I can’t wait to play it back and see what the state-of-the-art cameras of the time were capable of.
