Everything seems to work just fine, except when on B the shutter won't close unless the advance lever is completely "closed" (as in the picture below) - not sure if this is how it's supposed to work? Anyway, I've ordered a light seal kit so soon I'll be ready to shoot some!

beautiful MX. nice strap. from ebay?

Another shot of my ME Super shown with a SMC Pentax-A* 300mm ƒ4. Yeah, I like messing around with distortion/perspective with a wide angle for fun in these shots

Beautiful! Would've looked even better if the camera was a Super Program. Yeah, I just love the look of a Super Program better

Thanks. Well, I don't doubt that. I only have a ME Super and K1000. After I got into MF, I stopped shooting them and subsequently the pursuit of collecting more of them. But I have it in mind to take them out for some exercise one of these days.

Here's mine. A fellow pentaxian had a neighbor give him a box full of old Pentaxes. They were thrown into the box in a pile. This was one of the better ones! It was scratched and beat and needed light seals but I've got it working. Thankfully the lens had caps on both ends and it had a filter on it so then lens was in good condition, if a little dusty as you can see.

It's great that you saved it to shoot yet once again.
