Photo of ME-Super SE -- click to enlarge

As a precaution against loss of my manual and a service to other photographers, I've scanned my Pentax ME-Super manual and am making it available as JPG images. It is presented as a front cover, forty-nine pages, and a back cover. To maintain legibility, each image is approximately 910 x 640 pixels in size. Each image is copyright Pentax Corporation.

Pentax offers this manual and others online in Adobe Acrobat file format here.

The manual is presented here as individual pages and as a 5.3 megabyte zip file. It is also available as a 5.3 megabyte pdf file, courtesy of Scott Miller.
