About this deal

Honestly though, the shots are complete sh*t and do nothing to help compare the sharpness of the lenses, especially with a low-resolution scan. (Mental note: Next time you test lenses, spring for the high-res scans so you might be able to actually see the differences).

Speaking of batteries, the ME Super takes two LR44 batteries, which are still cheap and readily available today, so you don’t have to worry about the camera becoming obsolete any time soon.Colorful and bright Perseid meteor traveled "up" from the bottom left of the frame, and much later a mystery satellite crossed right in the middle of Andromeda. I shot my test roll while we were all hunkered down at home thanks to COVID-19. Knowing I’d want to shoot some things indoors handheld, I loaded speedy Kodak T-Max 400 into the ME Super. I developed it in Rodinal 1+50. This is a mug our son often uses for his tea. PENTAX ESPIO 838S + expired film, Pentax 35mm film camera Pentax point and shoot 35mm Pentax camera - Tested

the ME is a great camera! i learned photography on it, and for that i’m actually thankful it has ‘only’ aparture priority mode, as this tought me to care about aparture. to this day, even on current digital cameras i never let the camera choose the aparture – control over depth of field, sharpness, form of bokeh balls i would never leave to chance.The shot taken with the 50mm f/1.7 is underexposed and by at least a stop or three. How does something like that happen? The camera settings didn’t change…I am guessing it has something to do with the aperture blades not opening/ closing properly resulting in the underexposure…or possibly the electronic shutter on the ME Super was no bueno??? In the event of battery failure, the camera can continue to operate at a shutter speed of 1/125 of a second. 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. Two LR44 (or equivalent) batteries power the camera. Thus the Super A / Super Program is a great little camera. Not perfect but one of the best bundles. My favourite - along with the K2 DMD and ME Super. also, while i understand the historical importance of the K1000, i don’t get why anybody today recommends it over the much lighter and smaller bodies like ME, ME Super and Super A. they are also super cheap today, but simply much lighter, and also much more capable. I'll lead off with the summary: this is among the film bodies I could be entirely happy with if required to restrict myself to only one.
