Hello, Marcus,
I have a ME Super too and I like its tiny size. It is
the first ever second-hand camera I bought, and from the
Internet. That's my second Pentax, though, and I didn't
know its focus was off! Some blurry pictures resulted and
I blamed myself. It's now fixed though. My first ever
exchangeable lens camera is a Pentax ZX-5n (MZ-5n outside
US I think), when I decided to get a hobby for myself
while wandering through the slow days of getting a Ph.D,
upon recommendation of a classmate and friend, who had
a PZ-1P. Pentax users recommend Pentax to friends, of
course. The ZX-5n got its work cut out right away as I
traveled to Tennessee, Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana,
Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida on a road trip just a
couple of weeks after I got it. I'm proud to say I used
it to take pictures of the graves of Robert Johnson and
Charlie Patton, for those who are into Blues. Yes, I had
a picture of me and Mr. Johnson --- his grave, that is.
Oh yes, a couple of years later I also used it to take
pictures of the grave of Charlie "the Bird" Parker, right
down in Kansas City. In a word my ZX-5n have recorded
some fond memories for me. But I aint't treatin' her
right -- she's done restin' in a bag as I've got myself
a new baby, an MZ-S.
Well I think I'll go and take more pictures of
musicians' graves:-)
