John Seaman Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 I've looked at a few Pentaxes and the rewind handles all look like the same fitting. Certainly the ME (not Super) will be exactly the same and probably the MG and MV. The MX handle is slightly shallower as it doesn't have the film speed setting ring under it but it should still fit. Be careful when removing the handle not to let the shaft fall down into the camera, when you wouldn't be able to open the film door if it happens to close. If you were in the UK I could send you one.

JDMvW Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 In fact it is among the very first autofocus slr lens/cameras sold commercially. from Wiki The ME F is a historically significant camera. It was the first autofocus (AF) 35 mm SLR camera to reach production. It had a built-in through-the-lens (TTL) electronic contrast detection system to automatically determine proper subject focus and drive a lens to that focus point. Although it autofocused poorly and was a commercial failure, the pioneering ME F was a major milestone in the history of camera technology that pointed the way to all present day AF SLRs. dates: November 1981 to 1984 original price body only $402, with AF lens $994 (actual selling price about -30 to 40%) This is a rare enough camera/lens combination to sell for widely varying prices on the used market, when you can find it. It's much wiser to buy the lens and camera together, BTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
