I finally got to cutting the ME Super screen down. More difficult than I thought it would be. I covered both screens with Scotch tape to protect them. I traced the outline of the K-R screen on the ME screen and scored the line with a razor knife. Then snapped the screen at the line. This produced a rough edge, so I filed the edge smooth. This was my problem a slip with the file made a scratch on the ME screen. Should have used sandpaper. Also, the ME that donated the screen was a much abused broken camera from ebay, and it was very dirty. There is some black dirt in the split section of the screen that I was not able to remove. The small scratch is my fault, but not the dirt.
The ME screen may be a bit brighter but not that noticeable. Center weighted metering seems to be unaffected by the new screen and the split will go dark in very low light, but even in dim light still seems to work OK. If I have any problems with it, I'll just put the old one back in.
