AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Vintage camera kit consisting of a 35mm analog SLR Asahi Pentax ME, equipped with an SMC Pentax-M 50mm f/1.7 lens, two lens caps, and the original paper user manual. This model, introduced to the market in the late seventies, stands out for its extremely compact dimensions and lightweight body, features that make it one of the most maneuverable and appreciated film SLRs among collectors and street photography enthusiasts. The camera body sports a two-tone silver and black finish, with the classic faux leather covering that ensures a firm grip. On the front, the brand name and model initials are prominently displayed. The camera mainly operates in aperture-priority mode, making it easier for less experienced users, while shutter speeds are automatically managed by the internal electronic system. The included lens is a bright 50mm with a maximum aperture of f/1.7, ideal for low-light shots and for achieving a pleasant background blur. The lenses feature Pentax’s renowned SMC anti-reflective coating, providing vibrant colors and strong contrast. The two caps included protect the optics and the body from dust and scratches when not in use. The original user manual completes this lot, increasing its collectible value. The overall aesthetics appear well preserved, with normal and minor signs of wear that add charm to this wonderful piece of photographic history.
