the funny thing about these old slrs is the 50mm f1.4 lens is worth far
more than the body.

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.
I have a black ME Super sitting around someplace. I also have a pretty
cherry black MX.
I really should sell some of this stuff. It's not like I'll ever use
any of it again.
