Re: Back to Pentax - ME-F ?

[Joe Wilensky]

I have never handled one, but I know it provides autofocus only for the one lens made specifically for the camera (the 35-70 f/2.8 lens), which is a whole different autofocus system than the later autofocus Pentaxes. It does provide focus confirmation with most other Pentax lenses.

See: http://www.BDimitrov.de/kmp/bodies/M/ME_F.html

From what I remember, however, it takes four batteries instead of two, and goes through them more quickly than other M-series bodies, even when using manual focus lenses.

Quickie for anyone willing to read:

Regarding the ME-F body.
This body is similar to the ME Super save for the "autofocus" connections
on the lens mount.  Are there any other issues surrounding this body or is
it basically an ME Super with that "bonus" of "autofocus" ?

Thanks,
Dave

P.S. I use "autofocus" liberally even though I know this is not true
autofocus.
