Back in 2005 in the very early days of working in a camera shop, there was one on the shelf. I’ve long liked the look of the Pentax ME Super. I do realise that I am the exception rather than the rule here though, and so before I get into that personal bugbear, I do want to touch on a bunch of the things I like about the Pentax ME Super. The issue is, neither of these cameras have an exposure lock feature, and for the way I shoot AE cameras, exposure lock is just something I can’t live without. Unfortunately, in shooting it, not only have I found myself put off it, but it has actually put the final nail in the coffin of any ideas I had about buying a Pentax LX too. In fact, on paper at least, this camera seemed like everything I could ever need from a manual focus autoexposure Pentax SLR… As much as I quite enjoy those articles, I couldn’t bring myself to write one about a camera as nice as the Pentax ME Super. Don’t get me wrong though, this isn’t supposed to be one of those contrarian articles slamming a popular camera. I initially thought it might just about supplant the MX, but after finding it increasingly frustrating throughout only shooting a roll and a half of film, I’ve decided I have no intention of shooting it again.Īfter coming to this conclusion, I thought I should write a little review before sending it on its way to someone who I am sure will enjoy it as much as it deserves to be enjoyed. My relationship with the Pentax ME Super has been quite short.
