I lllllooovvveee this camera!!! I bought one as a teen in 1983 and still have it. I recently found one at a yard sale for $5 ! I almost passed out lol. I carried this camera around London and the UK for years, and never took a badly exposed photo. YES!!!
@@PhotoWays unfortunately, I didn’t have anyone to show me the basics of photography at the time. I had just graduated from high school. Nevertheless, I did come to love it.
I love this camera too. Mine was a reasonably priced Ebay purchase.The corners of the top plate are worn right through the black paint and the copper plating to the white plastic base. It makes me think, "How many pictures has this camera taken?" and still it works on. I've never used it in manual mode as I use my MX alongside it. I fell in love with the M series and now have the full set including the MV, MV1, ME, MG and the ME-F with the autofocus lens (which works!).

I have to say, I prefer the MX, but currently have three ME supers, a P30 and a P30t.
My first SLR!
An excellent camera. Did you love it as much as I loved mine?

I lost my MX many years ago. It certainly was my favourite when I was a student.
