My first SLR was an MV - I am surprised to see it identified as a replacement for the MX.
I bought mine in late 79 (IIRC) and it was cheaper than the ME Super then.
It might have been the lowpoint of development, but mine saw many years of service, including a year backpacking round Australia. It was very solid, almost idiot proof and capable of producing pretty good results with its std 50mm F2 kit lens.
I will admit it sits in its box now, and I use a ME Super for most of my film work, but it gets an occasional outing for old time's sake.

The ME and ME Super are almost perfect, but they just, JUST too primitive to be able to use aperture-ringless lenses. A shame, because the DA 40/2.8 (or better still the XS) would otherwise be the perfect fit for the ME's smallness.
Get yourself an original 40mm pancake. It suits the ME-Super to a T! Almost pocket sized (well - coat pocket)
