The PENTAX ME isn't just a camera; it's a masterpiece of engineering. Smaller than its rivals but featuring a giant, bright viewfinder that makes focusing a dream. Designed for effortless shooting with Aperture Priority, it’s the perfect companion for street photography and everyday adventures. Precision-built in Japan.

Appearance:
Appearance: There are signs of use consistent with age, including scuffs, rub marks, and paint wear. Wear is more noticeable around the top cover and the lens mount area. The leatherette is in generally good condition with no obvious peeling. Please check the photos for details.
Functional:
Tested and working. The shutter, self-timer, AE (auto exposure), and Bulb mode operate properly. We confirmed that the shutter speed changes appropriately according to light levels.
Viewfinder:
There is typical wear consistent with age, but it remains clear with good visibility. When a strong light is shone through it, very slight fungus can be seen; however, it is not noticeable during normal viewing and we did not notice any impact on visibility.
In our opinion, this item would be around 89-90% condition.

=^._.^= ━━━━━━━━━KONEKO Camera’s philosophy ━━━━━━━━━=^._.^=
Catawiki requires a general condition grade (Mint / Near Mint, etc.), so we select the closest option.
Our personal rule is simple: “Mint” means truly unused / like new—so “Mint+++” is not a thing in our universe (if it were,
we’d probably have to invent “Super Mint Deluxe,” too). Condition labels can vary from seller to seller, and many buyers have experienced listings that sounded better than the item in hand. That’s why we focus on facts. Every item is carefully inspected, and we disclose the results honestly with detailed photos—no surprises, no magic words.
The grade is only a guideline; please rely on the description and images for the real condition. If you have any questions, we reply quickly and will do our best to help. Thanks for reading!
