The winder ME-2 was designed for the ME-super and also worked for the ME. These had a mechanical activation of the shutter. The pin in the bottom of the ME-super actually moven the camera release button down. The super A has an electrical release, that activated by the same mechanical release in the winder as used for the ME. So, when the winder release button is pressed, the winder motor moves a mechanical pin which activates the electrical super-A switch. Thats the cause of the shutter delay.
