I currently posess two having just given a third one to my sister-in-law. One of the two that I have left doesn't meter (no LED display) but at the low price I paid for it, I didn't buy it for the camera. I just wanted the M50 f1.7 lens on it.

Hi: I have an ME, the result of buying addiction, and an ME Super I have had since 1984, both recently CLA'ed and in great shape.

Thinking of selling the ME and a bunch of M glass and keeping just the ME Super (my sig reflects my plans and doesn't include the excess K2 I also have, either).

IMO the original ME (not Super) is to autoexposure SLRs what the K1000 is to manual exposure SLRs.
I love my ME. Pentax quality, pure and simple!

I have a black one (ME-Super to be exact) that is very nice indeed.

I love my ME Super. Such a light and small camera, its so easy to quickly pull out and take a shot without people noticing, an ideal candid camera

Well the lens on the camera is a 150mm zoom with a deep "sunlight" shade....
I have used it to take shots almost directly at the sun with an old mine between the sun and me... good shot will scan it in and get it up soon.....

the other long lens is a 200mm zoom...
the lens top right is a 28mm macro
and the lnse below that is the standard 50mm lens
and flash in the corner...
