Vintage Pentax Asahi ME
Description : 11 Apr, 2023
Vintage Pentax Asahi ME camera with close focus auto zoom.
A classic 1976 basic 35mm film SLR. The Pentax ME has aperture-preferred automatic electronic exposure control.
Description:
The Pentax ME was a 1976-introduced, aperture priority automatic camera with an electronic focal plane shutter from 8 s to 1/1000 s, synchronized at 1/100 s.
The shutter curtains are metal and had a vertical movement. There was no shutter dial, and the camera could not be used in manual mode, except for B and 1/100 exposures. The Pentax-invented digital light meter was of the standard TTL open aperture center weighted type. It was activated by a slight pressure on the release button.
The Pentax ME has a 0.97× viewfinder, covering 92% of the field. The finder screen is fixed, with a split image and a microprism ring in the center. The shutter speed chosen by the camera is displayed in the finder, the aperture is not.
There is a hot shoe on the top of the prism and a self-timer. The selector around the release button has four positions: L (lock), Auto, 100X (1/100, X sync) and B. The Pentax ME can attach an external winder ME I (1.5 i/s) or the later ME II (2i/s). The Pentax ME can also mount a Dial Data ME databack, or the later Digital Data M databack via a cord adapter.
