Home/Catalogue/SLRs/Pentax ME Super + SMC Pentax-M 50mm F1.7

About the product.

The Pentax ME Super paired with the SMC Pentax-M 50mm f/1.7 is one of the sweetest small SLR kits of the manual focus era. The body is tiny, beautifully finished and has a big bright viewfinder with LED metering; the M-series 50mm f/1.7 is compact, fast and sharp, with the contrast and colour Pentax's Super Multi Coating is known for. Together they weigh almost nothing and go everywhere.
