The camera was a development of (and one of two replacements for) the Pentax ME. Both feature semi-automatic (aperture priority) operation, and are part of the Pentax M series which included the manual Pentax MX and briefly the semi-automatic, automatic-focus Pentax ME F. The ME Super added a manual mode to the feature set of the ME.
The ME Super was an ME with a manual mode. The MG, MV, and MV1 were even simpler versions of the original ME. The ME-F was an early attempt at an autofocus SLR using a special 35-70mm zoom with a motor built into the lens.

The Pentax ME could also mount a Dial Data ME databack, or the later Digital Data M databack via a cord adapter. The lenses were interchangeable with the K bayonet mount. Together with the ME and MX was introduced the SMC Pentax-M series of compact lenses. The Pentax ME existed in chrome or black finish, and a limited edition called ME SE had a ...
The ME F, a heavily modified version of the Pentax ME Super of 1979, was a member of the Pentax M-series SLRs, along with the Pentax ME (1976), MX (1977), MV (1979), MV-1 (1980), and MG (1982). They all used the same basic ultra-compact aluminium alloy chassis (except for the MX, which had a different chassis but used similar styling).

It was Pentax's flagship professional SLR until the introduction of the Pentax LX. Internally, the MX is essentially a smaller, lighter version of the Pentax KX, and otherwise has little in common with the rest of the Pentax M-series. However, the MX was designed as the mechanical twin sister of the remarkably successful entry-level Pentax ME.
