ME-F case

The ME-F, despite looking a lot like an ME Super, is actually a taller camera. Does anyone know if Pentax produced an ever-ready case for the ME-F, and if so, are there any distinguishing marks? I have a number of M series cases but the base part isn't tall enough for the clips to fit around the strap lugs.

Thanks, Kris.

You've probably already tried it, but would an ERC from a K-series camera fit? They would certainly be taller.

Best,

Hi Kris, in answer to your questions, yes Pentax did make a specific MEF case. It is marked MEF on the base. It stands approx 6mm higher and has claret coloured liner. As far as I can tell the top section is the same.

I purchased the one I have on eBay , it was just advertised as a case for a ME Super.

The condition is not great, but base part is yours if you want it.

Send me your details via PM and I will get it into the post on Monday.

Regards - Steve

Thanks to Steve I now have the bottom half of an ME-F ever ready case (the bit I needed) which has ME-F stamped in big letters on the base so you can recognise it. I'll post a photo at some point in case anyone else is looking for one.

Thanks Steve!

Best wishes, Kris.

Interesting discussion. My ME-F came with a case which I assumed to be a standard ME-Super one (I don't have it to hand to check for 'ME-F' stamped in the base).
