My personal assessment:
The ME F is absolutely identical to the ME Super in _all_ respects except...
1.Operates autofocus with only one lens, the SMC AF 35-70/2.8. They are
relatively scarce. The autofocus motor is in the lens and batteries must be
installed in the lens. The lens is nothing
It's basically a ME Super with an early AF system added. It's a little
bigger than the ME Super, and there are extra controls on the top for the
AF system. In the viewfinder you get extra LEDs for focus confirmation,
which works with manual focusing.
The lens "series" for this camera is the SM

Yes, the electronic DOF preview would solve this
problem. Aside from an extra PF Function, though, you'd need some
sort of extra control to set the aperture on the body. It would be

to have sought in the MZ-S.
