I'ave been playing around with and cleaning (outside) the ME and the MG I picked up yesterday. I believe the MG is really an underestimated camera. Noone ever says a lot about the MG.
Hah! I do fit the "no-one" label rather well <g> but I have been touting the quality and ease of use the MG gives you, ever since I got one years and years ago!
Aperture priority and center-weighted, TTL metering.
I even got another body for a backup, just in case I might need parts some day. I'm keeping those two forever!
I love the camera!
The MG is very similar to the ME, but it doesn't have a exposure compensation screw, like the ME (and the Super A etc.). It's a very nice feature. But the MG actually has a "memory scale" underneath the film rewind knob. This makes it possible to use the ASA-wheel for exposure compensation, without forgetting to which value is must be reset/how fast the film is.
Yes, an excellent feature!
The light diodes in the viewfinder of the ME are all red. All of them! The MG has different coloured diodes. Red for under-/overexposure, yellow for "tripod needed" and green for "no probelms". Very convenient. Both cameras accept an MEII winder, I suppose.
According to the manual, it accepts both the ME II and the ME winders.

Thanks for bringing it up. Time to remind others on the list of how good a simple camera like this
can really be! <g>
A few years ago, I took it and a bunch of K- and Takumar lenses, like my 135mm f/2.5, accompanied by the mount adapter, to Hawaii, and had a quite capable kit! No worry about this being the only body I took along... They all performed together admirably!
