First off, this has to be one of the smallest film SLRs I've held, and incredibly light too.
Now to business...
The Pentax ME Super is a film SLR, and widely considered to be one of the best Pentax film SLRs ever made. It is primarily an aperture-priority shooting style of camera, with full manual available. Using the buttons on the top of the camera, you select a shutter speed. The LEDs in the viewfinder light up to show you what exposure you're set at, and whether that'll over or under expose the film. It's really easy to see in the dark if you do long exposure work.
The camera body is in great shape; it's seen very little use. Shutter is in great shape.
The 35-80 f/4-5.6 is a nifty zoom range in a nice and compact lens. It spans from reasonably wide to closer-than-normal. On a digital body, this lens will give you about normal to short telephoto (perfect range IMO). It has markings on the barrel for macro, which I guess just means it can focus closely, but it isn't a dedicated macro lens or anything. Auto focus is fast on a body that supports it (like my K10D). (To clarify: this is a AF lens mounted on a non-AF body.)
Sunpack 933 flashgun. Takes four AAs, has a bounce and swivel head, with manual zoom feature. Also has power level settings. What else ya want?
The mini-tripod is a cross between those plasticky things that are a couple inches tall and a real tripod. It compliments the size of the ME-Super quite well I think.
A lens carrying case (one of the old-style tube things) as well as a nice leather carrying bag is also included to carry everything in.
All the original manuals are included. Pictures of everything is coming shortly... I'm thinking in the order of $180ish? But this is a feeler thread; offers are accepted.
