Indeed. I use an ME Super as my "dedicated church camera body", primarily for its relative quiet. As for the Super A / Super Program, its sound is not only louder, but is also "clunkier" (in that its sound is stretched out more over time). If Pentax had ever come out with an ME S with TTL flash, I'd be "in hog's heaven" - <g>. Fred
