I've used the SuperProgram and the LX. No K2 but a KX, which I sold partly to finance the LX. The SuperProgram does have DOF preview, by the way. But not MLU, you're right about that. For me I prefer the LX to the SuperProgram, but that's because my LX gives me some options not available with the SuperProgram, specifically the mechanical shutter speeds. The SuperProgram, as you might have noticed, has a greater range of manually-selectable shutter speeds (you can go down to 4 seconds on the LX dial but you can select as long as 15 seconds on the Super Program) and the Super Program has a higher flash-sync speed. If anything else occurs to me I'll post some more. ERN
