Some Thoughts on My New (to me) ME Super

Hi, film folks,

I received my ME Super a couple of months ago, but have not been able to use until recently. I picked up a winder, had Eric CLA the camera, and was also waiting on an adapter to be delivered. Thus, I finally snapped my first shot with it a couple of days ago.

At first, I disliked the camera's push button shutter speed selector. It is quite different from that of my ZX-M and from other vintage cameras I have used and owned. After taking some more shots, I think I am used to the little buttons. I still prefer a wheel selector, but my fingers seem to be adapting.

In all others areas, the ME Super body is excellent. The viewfinder is like looking though a window--just superb. The camera also handles very well. Interestingly, I find it better to meter using the camera's shutter release rather than the shutter release on the ME Winder II. The release on the winder requires only a very light touch--which I really appreciate--and thus I find it safer to meter with the more forgiving release on the camera. The winder button also produces a slight motor noise when lightly depressed.

Any similar experiences or other points of view?

Glen
