A pocket-sized SLR icon from Japan’s golden era — built to be used, beautiful enough to collect Compact SLR body with a very refined design A famous “easy-to-live-with” camera: you focus, you compose, and the camera takes care of exposure in AUTO Pure analog handling — perfect as a first Pentax SLR or as a classic addition to a collection There’s a very specific charm to late-70s / early-80s Japanese SLRs: real metal, crisp dials, and that unmistakable “mechanical click” that makes you slow down and enjoy each frame. This Pentax ME is exactly that kind of camera — a compact, elegant classic that represents the era when Japan was dominating precision camera engineering. The silver/black finish gives it a clean, timeless look on display, but it’s not just a shelf piece: paired with the beloved SMC Pentax-M 50mm f/1.7, it’s the kind of setup that film photographers keep coming back to — simple, bright, and honest. Functional check (no film test) Shutter releases normally. Bulb (B) mode works: shutter stays open while the shutter button is pressed and closes when released. Exposure display response was observed during testing— please refer to photos for details. However, selector ring is loose and may detach; mode switching can be obstructed; service recommended Lens: SMC Pentax-M 50mm f/1.7 A legendary “everyday” prime: Smooth manual focus feel Aperture blades open/close properly Glass condition: please judge from the photos (minor dust/age marks may exist due to vintage nature) Condition Used vintage condition with normal signs of age (small scuffs/marks). This is part of the charm and character of a true classic — please refer to photos for details. Important condition note (please read) - The shutter speed / mode selector ring (AUTO / 100X / B / L) is loose and tends to come off. - The ring is currently sticking/interfering with the small release button on top, so when the ring is attached the button may not be pressable and switching modes can be obstructed. - When the ring is removed, the lower mechanism/release can be pressed and mode switching is possible. → Because normal operation is affected when assembled, the camera is considered to require service/adjustment.

It is therefore sold in vintage/used condition, and age-related wear or intermittent behavior may occur. Kindly bid with this understanding and acceptance of its vintage nature.
