Catalogue information
For the photography industry, turbulent years began in the 1970s when it was shaken in 1972 by the arrival of Olympus' very compactly built OM-1 SLR camera. Still, Asahi Pentax managed to market a slightly smaller SLR camera with the Pentax ME. The Pentax ME has fully automatic TTL exposure control with aperture priority. The Pentax ME was also the last type of SLR camera from Asahi Pentax where the AOHC logo is still engraved on the prism housing. On its successor, the ME super, it appears to have already disappeared. Too bad, because it looks so beautiful! (AOHC = Asahi Optical Historical Club). The launch price in 1976 was FL, $ 799, along with an SMC-Pentax f: 1.7 / 50mm standard lens. An SMC-Pentax 1: 2/50 mm lens is mounted on this Pentax ME.
