Can you provide further insight more on how you would shoot black and white with it? If I were to shoot in a regular out door environment with tri-x 400. How would I adjust that exposure dial? and if it was snow would I go down to 1/2? Trying to make sense of that. Thanks!
Good review. I have the ME Super that offered the additional manual setting option. Look forward to seeing the next review with maybe something from that latest box you have sourced. Have you thought of doing a review of the Pentax ES II. It’s a great camera and I love using it in conjunction with the ME Super.
The reliability point makes no sense a mechanical camera will always be more reliable and have more probabilities of being fixed than a electronic one. I have yet to find a mechanical Pentax that didn’t work and yet I have found plenty electronic ones that didn’t from the ME, ME super, Super program & P3n and just alone five of those were MEs and two were ME supers. Besides that point good review as always.
Thank you for this amazing video! Just inherited this camera from my uncle and I’m so excited to get more into film photography! Super informative vid and very helpful. Keep up the good work!
My fav Pentax is MX - simply adore this. I have K1000, ME Super, and ME SE. The ME is IMHO a much under appreciated camera. Yeah it ain't fully manual but ya' just gotta' get ya' head in the right space and its awesome.
I just interested one from my grandfather who passed away. Looks like I got a good camera, excited to take some shots with it. Thanks for making the video.
I own and regularly use an ME SUPER, which is a great camera. I'm actually just about to post it off to a friend for her to use for a while. Great video, thank you.
They where popular also in Iran in mid 1990s, they are still popular among photography students here. ❤
HA! love the ME , my first SLR back then… still fantastic and damn robust. Nice big viewfinder and small formfactor. Love it. Thanks for this review!
Wonderful review full of information, I miss the ME I had in the 80s. Think I need to buy one.

Проверяйте lens pentax smc m 1.7 50mm перед приобретением на просвет... Частый дефект - мутнеет от времени склейка двух линз в блоке...

Super helpful, a crash course! Thank you so much 😊
They are a piece of art. I am a Pentax Vintage Collector. I love these but the MX and the Spotmatics are better IMHO.
My second favorite camera, the first one is the ME Super 😂.

One of the best videos I have seen. If I may, what adapter would you recommend buying for Pentax ME camera to mount SMC Takumar lenses on ME camera?

If the access cap for the power winder is missing can you still shoot film in the camera with out having light leak issues?
