As the name implies, the ME Super was the follow up to the ME. Upgraded with manual shutter speed control and a wider shutter range, Pentax manufactured this extremely capable camera from 1980-1986.

The most notable feature right away is the inclusion of two small shutter speed selector buttons next to the primary dial. These allow you to move an LED to your desired shutter speed when looking through the eyepiece and feels like very natural after a few minutes of shooting.
As intuitive and efficient as these buttons are, they can be a fail point with age and improper storage. Oxidation to contacts and gummy rubber gaskets are the two most common issues with ME Supers these days, both of which do have remedies.

The first autofocus SLR ever. Ever so slightly larger than an ME Super, the ME F's autofocus only worked with one lens and was extremely slow. But hey - first ever :)
The only difference between this "Special Edition" and a regular ME Super was a 45° split-prism focusing screen and I'm not mad about it.
