Pentax ME / ME SE
Do you like simplicity? Simplicity that means just having the tool in your hand work when and how you want it to? Simplicity like having a tool designed for one purpose? Simplicity in design that eliminates the extraneous parts of a tool and lets you express yourself? That kind of simplicity is rare, but it's present in the Pentax ME.
Like so many Japanese imports from the mid-1970s, the Pentax ME was a small, well-designed work-horse. It is an aperture priority based camera with an electronic shutter and an extremely accurate meter meaning that you can decide on your depth of field, focus, and let the camera do the rest of the work. And even though this camera is small physically, it has one of the biggest and brightest viewfinders you'll ever see with 92% viewfinder coverage and 0.95 magnification. Those are the kinds of specifications that make modern digital cameras jealous.
If you have a collection of Pentax cameras or just some Pentax K-Mount lenses in search of a good body, it'd be easy to overlook the ME, but you simply shouldn't. Simplicity is its own reward.
