Asahi Pentax Pentax ME SE
The Pentax ME SE is a 35mm SLR produced by Asahi Pentax, part of the compact M-series line introduced at the end of the 1970s. It uses the Pentax K bayonet mount and was positioned as a small, aperture-priority automatic body for amateur photographers.
Sales data for the ME SE is thin: a single recorded UK auction hammer result of £112 from March 2022, which sits at the wholesale level rather than retail. With only one data point, today's price guidance is indicative rather than firm, and condition, completeness and the presence of a working lens will materially shift what an example sells for.
Sales History
Prices shown are realised prices — auction results and completed eBay sales, never asking prices. Most saleroom figures are hammer prices, before commission; some houses publish a premium-inclusive figure, and we do not adjust for condition. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher. How this figure is calculated.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Pentax ME SE worth today?
Based on the limited UK auction record available, a Pentax ME SE is worth in the region of £110 at hammer, though a single sale is not enough to establish a firm market value.
How much does a Pentax ME SE sell for at auction?
The one recorded UK auction result sells for £112 hammer in 2022; clean, fully working examples with a lens would typically achieve more, while non-working bodies sell for less.
Is the Pentax ME SE a good buy at this price?
At around £100 the ME SE offers a compact K-mount film SLR body, but the value depends heavily on shutter and meter function, so factor in possible service costs when judging the price.
