The compact Pentax ME, an aperture priority only camera with an electronic shutter, is in very good cosmetic condition for it's age.
It was bought brand new in 1979 and owned by the same gentleman for almost 50 years.

See a video of it in action on eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/307166024126

More info from the Pentax forum site: https://www.pentaxforums.com/camerareviews/pentax-me.html

The meter and shutter speeds seem to match but the advance lever sometimes sticks when extended SO CONSIDER THE ME AS A FREEBIE for the price of the lenses and accessories.
The seals are still good but will need replacement sooner than later.
The battery chamber is clean with no sign of battery leak.

The lenses are clean with some dust but no major scratches or fungus. All rings move as they should and have full functionality.

Here's what's included in the lot:

•Pentax ME camera with generic body cap
○Leather case for the ME - usable but not advised as it may promote fungus growth
○Pentax strap and pad - OEM and still sealed
○Vintage wide strap with unused rings
○Unused Pentax VF cover and rubber eyecup
○Owner's manual
•SMC PENTAX-M 50mm f1.7 lens with original rear cap, Hoya UV filter and generic front cap
•SMC PENTAX-M 135mm f3.5 lens & case with original rear cap, Tiffen haze filter and generic front cap
•JC Penney Auto 2x tele-converter and case
•Rollei Beta 4 hot shoe flash with box and manual - still works great
•Hoya 49mm PL filter

Price is net to me and includes ground delivery in the CONUS.
G&S and/or faster delivery fee will be the responsibility of the buyer.
Local pickup is welcome in the greater Seattle area.

I'm open to offers so don't be afraid to ask.

I just handled one of these and it is so better built than my Nikon FG. Much more solid feeling with a much better film advance feel.

GLWS!

Also the shutter/mirror is really nicely damped, unlike the cr@ppy hollow box feel of my FG (and the EM).
