It's one of the cut-down MEs, isn't it? I'm sure it has its fans, but
given the ubiquity of the latter cameras, I don't think there'd be any
point in trying to get your hands on an MV...

The MV is a "gadget?" Please!
I have an MV-1 and love it.
Almost as much as I do my very similar MGs!
It's indeed a simplified version of the beloved ME, all of which lead to

Number one, you have to like mechanical cameras, or all bets are off.
However, if you are okay with me

I gave one to a friend returning to b&w film recently, she likes it.
Built like a MX, which it basically is, but without DOF preview.

I have always thought one of those soft nylon 6 pack coolers would be a good
way to store a camera in the car. Insulated, cheap, doesn't look worth stealing.
