Pentax Super A with Pentax-A zoomlens 28-80mm F3.5–4.5.

€125.00

The Pentax Super-A is a 35mm SLR came produced by Pentax Japan in the 1980s.

It is not the same camera as the slightly lower-specified Pentax Program A. The camera offers fully automatic exposure ( program) 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 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 1/2000sec to 15 seconds, plus a bulb mode. There is flash synchronization at 1/125sec . Unlike the camera most direct predecessor , the semi-automatic Pentax ME super this model cannot function at 1/125 sec or at all once the batteries have been exhausted. Speed is displayed on a LCD panel on the top of the camera adjacent to the buttons and both speed and aperture are visible on the LCD displays inside the viewfinder. These receive natural light through a translucent plastic window on the Pentaprism housing and can be electrically lit at the press of a button. Also in the viewfinder centered is a split image focus aid surrounded by a microprism ring. A further improvement over the ME super was the inclusion of a depth-of-field preview lever. The camera also features a self-timer which was electronic rather than manual lever of its predecessors. The available ISO film speed choices were extended to, and ran from 6 to 3200 ASA. As with the previous M series cameras , there is a window next to the winder arm which indicated film movement, and assist the user in rewinding film into the cassette without losing the tip of the film. Metering through the lens , camera also features direct TTL flash metering. The super A version was available with a black top plate and matching base. The super program version was available with a chrome colored top plate and matching base. The main body ,grip and lenses were always black.
