Trusty old ME - Super

I recently bagged an ME Super, 50mm f1.7 lens and a generic flash for £28 on ebay. I was mostly after the lens to try that fast 50mm I'd heard so much about on my Km, but I'd always wanted an ME Super.
Once the horrible smell of tobacco smoke had died away (think the last owner must have been a fifty a day man!) it's a very nice example. Could do with new light seals/mirror damper foam as they're going sticky, but I'll definitely be making the effort to do that as it's in great condition otherwise. This one will be used as my classic film SLR I think - it's just so pleasant to hold and operate.
As for the lens, it's staying on the ME Super now as I've since bought an A version which gives me access to all exposure modes on my Km.
