I went from a Super Program to a ZX-L (MZ-6). I put a ZX-M's focusing screen (which has a split-image and microprism) in the ZX-L to make focusing with manual-focus lenses easier, and have been very happy with it. The ZX-M's focusing screen only cost about US $3, direct from Pentax USA.
Now if only I could do the same with my *ist D (which has a smaller focusing screen).
