Very nice, the lens is Cosina made I think, according to the generally accepted numbers.
I would buy some cheap colour film and get it processed at the supermarket just to try it, then enjoy it.

Lloyd is correct for film -- get a single roll and have it developed. That will let you know if it has any light leaks around the seals before you shoot a dozen rolls. The ME is a nice, user-friendly, and very light SLR. You ought to be pretty happy with it.

The ME is a very nice camera. I have come to like mine a lot more than I am supposed to. Practically the same great viewfinder as my MX but I can hand it to anyone and have them snap a picture. For work with slide film I put it ahead of my MX. as it's meter sets the shutter speed in infinite steps and rarely misses as long as I dial in some compensation when shooting backlit scenes. I have acquired a total of 4 of these as rear lens covers for lenses I have purchased and every one of them functions far better than their price would reflect
