Yeah, I'd go for the SMC and the smaller, lighter MZ-3, especially since
it has a control set that, while more simple, makes a helluva lot more
sense while operating the camera than any of the Canons I've played
with. Admittedly, the only Canons I've had close relations with were an
Elan IIe that belonged to my friend Jim (at his wedding I shot with
multiple bodies loaded with different films, one of them being his
Elan...which, while not awful, was pretty awkward to use on manual) and
an A2 that one of my former co-workers went out and bought despite my
evangelizing (though he did buy a Mac), and a couple of those dead-awful
Rebels that we had when I was at Sterling.
Get your friend to test drive both an MZ-3 (or 5n) and whatever Canon
body he's looking at in a shop or two shops if you can't find both at
the same place. If that doesn't sell him, he won't appreciate the joy
of Pentax. :)
