Pentax Super A w/50mm

The Pentax Super A is a 35mm SLR camera produced by Pentax and released in 1980. Our model in stock comes with a 50mm lens with an fstop up to 1.7. This camera is a great option for beginner photographers as it can provided fully automated shooting. Very light weight and small for easy travel. All in a sleek black finish with minimal wear and tear. The camera offers fully automatic exposure mode when coupled with an appropriate Pentax-A series lens. With such a lens the camera also offers shutter-priority mode, and with any compatible lens (i.e. Pentax-M lenses in addition to the Pentax-A series) the camera offers aperture-priority and fully manual modes. The shutter speeds, selected by up/down buttons rather than the conventional wheel, run from 1/2000 of a second to 15 seconds, plus a "bulb" mode. There is flash synchronisation at 1/125 of a second. Unlike the camera's most direct predecessor, the semi-automatic Pentax ME Super,  this model cannot function at 1/125 of a second, or at all, once the batteries have been exhausted. This new-to-us camera as been refurbished to provide it with a long and healthy second life.
