It could either be a Pentax ME Super (very common, cheap as chips but non-the-less a nice camera) or a Super A (not quite as common, still fairly cheap, equally nice). If the 50mm lens is a Pentax one, it'll be worth several times more than the camera and is certainly worth having. The 11A I'm using is a M42 mount.

It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera… they are made with the eye, heart and head. Henri Cartier-Bresson
Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

It was a SMC Pentax one, I asked him whether he had any super takumar ones, as that was what I was looking for. But the lens attached was a Pentax 50mm f1.4 manual focus lens, which was a bayonet mount. Looked in extremely good condition! Wondering how much it actually costs as he was selling it for 35 pounds, which seemed to be quite a bargain.
I don't have the usable mount adapter to use the lens, so many consider re-selling it if I buy it.
I believe it was this lens: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SMC-Pentax-M-50mm-f1-4-Pentax-K-Fit-Nice-/380309726629?pt=...

The last one of those I sold on eBay (which admittedly was absolutely mint) fetched 90 quid. In average condition you should see £70 back on one easily, £50 for a scruffy one.
If I saw one for sale for £35 with a free camera attached I'd snap it up in a heartbeat.

I'm going to grab it tomorrow!!!! I was worried because, I am unfamiliar with pentax camera's and lenses. I just know a bit about the Super Takumar's which are really well built with extremely sharp lenses. Hope no one buy's it first. Also so an Asahi Pentax camera with a 50mm f1.7; might grab that too.. See if he gives me any discount if I buy 2. I can't wait to get it tomorrow! Will surely upload photo's for you guys in my home made temporary paper background studio.
Finally I will get my first pentax camera..

I've got the Jupiter 135mm's 11A and 37A both similar and superb performers and still very cheap.
Some shots on Flickriver
I managed to find that information too, but then it seems that it was made in japan which then lead me to think; maybe not?
If you are into old lenses you could visit the mflenses forum as well. I lurk there too, if not quite as much as I lurk here. They tend to be a bit too obsessed with German glass but I can live with that.
