G'day all
I recently picked up a nice SE (Special Edition?) version of the ME on Ebeagh. It's in great condition apart from an exposure meter anomaly which I can live with for now.
As far as I was aware, the only differences between this version and the standard ME were the brown leatherette trim , the "SE" engraved on the top plate and a diagonal (rather than horizontal) split rangefinder. However, I've come across an advertisement in an old magazine which claims that the SE also has "manual overide of exposure meter". If it does, I can't find it! - unless they're referring to the exposure compensation facility, which is hardly unique to the SE.
Does anyone have one of these and can confirm or debunk this claim?
Cheers
Brian

"The "SE" in the ME Super SE body stands for "special eddition." However, the only known difference is that the focusing screen of the SE body is diagonally split, and that of the non-SE body horizontally-split."
