Released in the late 1970s as part of the revolutionary M-series, it is celebrated for being one of the smallest full-frame 35mm SLRs ever produced. This unit (S\/N: 9989772) features a sophisticated aperture-priority automatic exposure system, allowing the photographer to select the aperture while the camera precisely calculates the shutter speed. Because it utilizes the universal Pentax K-mount, it serves as an incredibly versatile tool, providing access to a vast library of legendary SMC Pentax glass.

What I love about this model is how it feels in the hand—it’s roughly the same size as many compact rangefinders, yet you get the full through-the-lens (TTL) experience of an SLR. The viewfinder is surprisingly large and bright for a camera this small, making it a joy to focus. It’s a rugged, honest piece of Japanese engineering that is perfect for anyone who wants a 'carry-everywhere' film camera that still offers the creative depth of the K-mount system. For those who prioritize portability without wanting to switch to a point-and-shoot, the ME is a top-tier choice.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eAsahi Pentax ME\u003c\/b\u003e 35mm SLR Camera Body (S\/N: 9989772)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\"\u003e[Note: This is a body-only listing.
