Pentax ME Super

[slindsey137]

My grandpa gave me this camera when I was way too young to appreciate it, and I recently found it going through old boxes. I have three lenses and some filters that I have no idea how to use.

Lenses:
Tamron 135mm F/2.5
SMC Pentax-M 1:1.4 50mm
520 Focal MC Auto 1:2.8 f=28mm

Filters:
Kalt Fog #3 58mm
HOYA 49mm PL
Kalt Polarizer 58mm

I used the camera some when I was younger, but like I said, too young to appreciate it. I have manuals for the camera and the lenses, but I was hoping someone here would have some experience with it. I'm not even sure how old it is. There is a receipt in the bag that is dated in the 90's, but I have no idea if it was for repair, or a lens, or the camera itself. I am diving into the manuals now, any insight is much appreciated!

ETA: I wasn't paying enough attention, the manual says Super, but the camera is just the ME. I guess I need to do some more research, I think this manual might just confuse me...

The MESuper is a 35mm film camera. You can shoot in either manual exposure or aperture-preferred. This means you set the film speed, choose an aperture on the lens and the camera will select the shutter speed needed for proper exposure.

The 50mm lens is a 'standard' lens and is a general all-around lens. The 28mm is a wide-angle, useful for large groups, scenery and architectural shots. 135mm is a good telephoto lens for portraits, sports and wildlife.

The fog filter mimics an image taken on a foggy day, the polarizers to make the blue sky darker and reduce reflections on shint surfaces.

I shot with an MESuper for about 12 years.
