I picked this up a few weeks ago as part of a combo with a lens. Turns out it seems to work fine, but I already have two K bodies and don't need this one!

I ran a roll (of Adox CMS 20, which was probably not a great idea) through it, and everything looks ok in terms of speeds and exposure. I've never used another ME, so I can't tell you whether it sounds and feels ok too! The battery compartment is nice and clean, and the body is more or less fine apart from a few scuffs and scratches here and there.

The only issue: the seals are looking rough and the mirror damper even more so. Thankfully I bought a pack of 2 seal kits for my ME Super, so I can include one of them with this. I don't feel like installing it, though, so I leave that to you to enjoy!

I can't really promise that everything inside this thing is in perfect shape, but at least at the moment it seems good. So: $35 including shipping and PayPal fees seems like a fair price to me. Comes with a comically short strap but no body cap, sadly.

🛡️ Classifieds Safety Reminder: Please stay safe when buying and selling. Scams via hacked accounts are on the rise globally.

Best Practices: Always use a verified payment method with buyer protection (avoid "PayPal Friends & Family"). Services like Escrow.com are highly secure. Be suspicious of random unsolicited contact via Private Message. If you see suspicious behavior, please use the Report link on the post immediately.
Hmm...not really in a rush to sell, but I'll reduce the price to $30 or put on the new seals myself if that'll entice anyone!
