Very nice looking camera. I have 2 of them myself, and really like shooting with it.

Got to be a nice SLR.....I have a MX which is similar, although all manual......it is a delight to use and I am always very pleased with the images I get while using it.

Back in my newspaper days at the paper where I worked, our photographers bought their own gear and the equipment allowance they got was tiny. Most of them shot the ME Super because it and the Pentax lenses were fairly cheap and there was also a power winder available. They weren't quite as durable and the Nikon FMs when you ran several rolls of film a day though them but that was tolerable for the price difference.

I just remembered, I have a non-working Pentax of some sort .... and there's a case with a Minolta, too...not sure right now which model of either one!

I bought an ME Super a couple of months ago because my MG and MV-1 looked lonely on the Pentax shelf ;D. Now I want an MX but it seems to be slightly cultish and thus out of my price bracket. One sold on Ebay Oz this week for $155!!

Thanks for the comments everyone! Indeed it is one of my cooler modern(ish) SLRs and is still holding a spot in my case, even though a lot of the cameras in there have been moved to the hall shelf to make room for better ones...haha

I STILL have a pile of Nikons. Considering starting a collection of Ricoh SLRs and RFs.

I got a chance to shoot with a borrowed chrome ME Super while spending a summer in Mexico back in 1986. Great little camera.

Some years I nearly bought an ME Super second hand. I'm not sure why I didn't. As you say great little camera.
