Hello
I have sold my fathers Pentax ME Super on ebay for £49 with wide angle lens, 70-210 Tokina Lens, Polarising Filter, Adaptor Ring and bag.
It was in looked in good condition although i am not a camera person.
The man has recieved it ok, but says the metering does not work; speciticially when you change the ASA dial, it does not alter the shutter speeds or compensation.
Is this a major problem and how much would it cost to repair.
Thank you

Have him check if he does not have the batteries in the wrong way around, have that happening all the time when I change the batteries in my Pentax MV. The cost of repair would likely exceed the value of the camera.
