The only thing you won't be able to do with your A lens on ME Super is use it in the program mode because the camera doesn't have one (unlike Super A/Super Program). Lukasz

Fred, I don't have the ME Super. I only have one PZ-1 which is bulky and too much for me. I want to buy a second body. I did some surfing and liked the features of ME Super. It seems others like it too. But then I probably wont be able to use it with my lens. And since I dont want to spend a lot of money, I want to decide on some other body that can do shutter priority.
