Quoting Malcolm Smith <[email protected]>:
Free, no charge, a friend was about to bin it. Thing is, it's a Pentax ME. It has a small dent in front of the hot shoe, looks 6-7 out of 10 in appearance if you squint. The batteries worked momentarily, and I think it is just that, it hasn't been used in decades...probably. Not having had a film camera for some time, batteries that will fit I don't have, so some are on order, along with that stuff called film. I had an ME briefly in the 1990s and for some reason, we were not friends. I've downloaded the manual, so awaiting the post man in the next few days to deliver the goods. I hope we play nicely this time. If all goes well, I suppose I'll have to look for the ME belt clip, to look hipster cool.
I bought an ME (the SE version) during my collector phase a few years ago. I only used it a couple of times but I didn't warm to the fact that it was aperture priority only with no manual override. I liked the ME Super much more - not as much as the Super A though.
