I know it's the cockroach of these forums, but the ME Super is, quite frankly, a joy to work with. The aperture-priority use is just manual enough for students to understand what's going on, not to mention is makes metering for the zone system a huge weight off the mind. Subject Brightness Range? (SBR) Just count the differences in the LED's.
Quite simply, just a joy to work with!
I really, really enjoy this camera but I can't justify keeping it when I have a Super Program and don't shoot film all that much to begin with. The older Pentax SLRs are gorgeous hunks of metal, but I feel bad being a collector when there are lots of people out there who would still like to actually use them.

Cockroach maybe, but these things keep selling for a reason. They are extremely well-featured, compact units. Slap a pancake 40 on one and it's as small as a point-n-shoot. I like the extra grip on this one.
Yeah, the Super Program grip is a handy addition, and the small size is very nice for street shooting. Someone should enjoy this body very much.
