Hi there,

I have a Pentax Asahi ME camera, mint condition 1976, and I'm not quite sure what to do with it. Looking to fnd a general value, or even a buyer. There is a flash (starblitz 216m?) and a lense (haminex HMC??). It has it's original leather surround and strap, and original instruction manual - with stamp on back indicating it was purchased in Glasgow a long time ago... Can anybody help....?

Mhairi - have a look on Ebay to see if there are any cameras similar to what you have - that should give you a good idea of resale value, or if they are still in existence, take it in to Quiggs in Parnie Street, Glasgow (assuming you are also in/near Glasgow), where they deal in 2nd-hand cameras.

I think Quiggs are now called Merchant City Cameras (or something similar)
