Forget the drivel written in the other reviews.
The ME was Pentax's response to the 'newer', smaller and lighter SLRs from such as Olympus. Unfortunately, in it's original form it was aperture priority only. This was addressed with the introduction of the ME Super, which allowed manual setting of the shutter speed.
Lens mount is NOT M42 (which, incidentally, was developed by Zeiss/Exacta/Praktica and NOT Pentax), but Pentax 'PK' bayonet. In fact, Pentax introduced the 'M' series of lenses specifically for the 'M' series cameras... The standard fit, f1.7 Takumar is very sharp and still highly regarded.
The ME Super is generally considered to be the 'second best' of the M series (after the all manual and 'semi-pro', MX). It makes a sensible alternative to the ubiquitous Olympus OM10 as a 'student camera', yet is eminently suitable for the enthusiastic amateur.
