Pentax ME Super

I consider the Olympus OM-1n as one of my favorite recent acquisitions to shoot, but a friend recommended I try the Pentax ME Super. It has a similar form factor and feel to the Olympus. It also feels lighter in hand, a fact borne out by the specs. The ME Super is roughly two-tenths of a pound lighter when equipped with similarly specced lenses.

I found the controls easy to figure out and focusing was quick and easy. The Pentax makes reassuring sounds through all modes of operation, and I found the automatic shutter control and interface to be on point.
