Things that I do not like: 1) coarse and dim screen, could be difficult to lock for sometimes (MX is much better) 2) very noisy mirror/shutter (slmost on par with LX?) 3) the worst Pentax 135 SLR body mirror/shutter vibration (MX the least?)? 4) sometimes difficult to see LCD inside the viewfinder 5) viewfinder LCD light too dim and the light button is difficult to press 6) push shutter speed buttons work slow for me, I prefer dial 7) shutter release & self-timer switch require service/cleaning on many used bodies 8) 1/1000s shutter on the 1st two frames (so I cannot "steal" 2 frames at the begining of the roll) 9) Motor Drive A is very noisy although handling is good Don't get me wrong, I like Super A/program very much. I have always wanted to buy another one, but somehow never happened. regards, Alan Chan _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
