Through the usual friend of a friend route,
I was offered and old and non working Pentax and some bits.
What I received was a very nice ME Super, M series 50 1.7, Tokina 28. 2.8 and a Tokina 80-200 4 zoom.

Quick clean, new batteries and the ME is up and running and works perfectly after its 20 year slumber in a wardrobe.
To say I am happy is an understatement.

Roll of B&W at the ready for a slightly less wet day, that maybe today I hope

So here is the said ME Super before cleaning with some of its friends watching.

Well it stayed dry and just had a local walk with a 24 roll of Kentmere Pan 100 to check for light leaks and exposure etc.
Developing kit to the ready later or tomorrow night.
 
I must add, really enjoyed using the ME, it was very pleasant to use.
Not sure if it equal to the OM2 in use, but very similar in hand.
But I am sure the Pentax glass will shine, Jury is out on the Tokina 28 though.
