Paul,
A very good point! Some folks don't like the smaller M and A cameras as they
are too small for large hands.
The other thing I would do is wind the shutter and play with the mirror
lock-up. After some experience, I can tell when a Super Program doesn't
sound smooth on winding (no mirror lock-up to test). If things kind of
click, clack, and pull in an irregular way as you wind, I'll pass on
purchasing the camera. They sound to much like my 17 year old Super
Program...which gets louder and more irregular with each passing year. I
fear the winder mechanism will fail.
I don't have as much experience with the KX, but think the same holds true.
Look for one with a smooth wind and mirror lock-up. I passed up a black KX
because the mirror lock-up was too sloppy. It didn't go up and stay up all
the way, too much play in the mechanism. I've got to believe it was headed
for the repair shop at the next owner's expense.
Regards, Bob S.
