What you got sitting in a drawer, or closet?
I am looking... A new disease, but why hold back?
I am having fun with film right now.
I even like the fumes.
Part with your old film photo stuff?

I have this one with the really cool strap. I also have a telephoto lens somewhere on my desk that goes with it.

Ah the ME Super... I have two, same shutter/winding problem, as most of them do.
The thinking is that Pentax tried to make the camera as small as possible, and by doing so, created one of their least reliable models.
Lenses, yes. The Takumar stuff was great.
And there is a market for them, as, for some reason, everybody (like first year photo students) wants a Pentax K body, which features same K mount as your ME (not M42, which was the other, older Pentax mount).
EDIT: this post made me revisit my two MEs: after a lube, one is still doing the shutter-only every-other-frame thing, but the other is now fine, except for its frame counter erratic count...!
