This was an interesting $15 find at a local Cash Converters shop, the first time I had seen one in 40+ years of looking at cameras. According to CAMERAPEDIA, Porst was a German camera distributor and retailer that rebadged equipment from various manufacturers. The M-CE is evidently a rebadged Chinon CE II Memotron. This example is in poor shape, missing the rewind knob/crank and a few bits of trim, however the 55mm f1.4 M42 lens is scratch and fungus free so might be useful on my Olympus 4/3 gear. An interesting feature of the camera is the vinyl padded panels on each side of the pentaprism and the vinyl padded lens focusing ring.
