well-made and competent cameras.

Thanks for the information on the Super Program. I'll be looking around

BTW,
I have had the SFXn and it's a very loud camera. With the AA grip the
grip is very good, but it comes (as does SuperA) from an era when
Pentax tried strange control ergonomics - buttons and such (nearly
everybody did, the worst culprit was Minolta - their cameras from the
early AF era are an

Of all Pentax SLR cameras, only the LX meters non-flash off the film.

I looked and believe you are correct.
Sensor in the LX is on the bottom, facing the film.

When comparing the SFXn with the Super-A it's the built-in winder that

Vic,
I bought the Super Program/Super A new 20+ years ago and was very
pleased with the flash TTL on the camera. It was way ahead of its
time and other brands.
The TTL flash in the LX measures flash light bouncing off of the film.
The TTL flash in the Super Program measures with a sensor in the
