Sadly it appears as my Dad's Pentax ME Super may be getting terminal. It was very much his camera and 'ME Super' was burned into my brain when I younger for the amount of times it was pointed at me.
I got it serviced by 'the' Pentax guy a year ago and worked perfectly up until recently where it appears as though its developed a front light leak (see below). Not lens, film or dev related and there's nothing obvious on shining my bike light through the front of the camera. I'm guessing shutter ?
I'll probably send it off for a service again to another guy (the original guy has retired) just to see.
Anyhoo, TL;DR I've bought a Mamiya ZM to try in the meantime. Last 35mm SLR Mamiya made, and the E/EF mount lenses are dirt cheap. If someone has the 28-50mm zoom I'd be interested
