'Camera of the Year 1983'

Pentax Super A with Motor Drive A – 50mm f/1.7 and 35–135mm f/3.5–4.5 zoom lens

I’m offering this Pentax Super A, complete with Motor Drive A, two lenses, a macro close-up lens, flash, accessories, and original case. A beautiful, comprehensive analog set like this is becoming harder to come across.

Everything has been tested and works perfectly and smoothly. A great combination for someone who wants to actually take photographs with it, as well as a special set for a collector.
Fantastic lenses and a complete setup
The camera is fitted with the smc Pentax-A 50mm f/1.7. The 35–135mm zoom lens is also included. These fantastic lenses really complete the set, offering everything from a compact setup with the 50mm to more options with the zoom lens.

The Motor Drive A completes the package.
Together with the original Pentax strap, flash, lens caps, and the other accessories shown, this makes for a wonderfully complete setup. Everything fits neatly in the original case with its red lining. Opening that case alone is a delight.

An award-winning Pentax from 1983
The Pentax Super A was released in 1983 as the top model in the Pentax A series, and was named European Camera of the Year that same year. The associated gold-colored emblem is present on this camera.

Its versatility shows why it was such a remarkable camera at the time. The Super A combined program autoexposure, aperture priority, shutter priority, and fully manual exposure. It also featured advanced flash capabilities and shutter speeds up to 1/2000 second. Paired with the then-new Pentax-A lenses, it offered a remarkable range of possibilities in one compact SLR. It could take over when you wanted it to, while still letting you stay in control.

Ready for a new chapter
What makes this set so appealing to me is how complete it is: the camera, motor drive, fantastic lenses, and original case. Not just a loose camera body that you then have to hunt around to accessorize, but a lovely setup all together.

And the nice thing about film: after a few rolls of 36 shots, you’re done. That saves you from sorting through 1,200 nearly identical vacation photos.
