Hello,
I've been reading this forum for a couple of weeks. I've come across it
because I'm using Pentax camera's as a hobby-photographer. I own a
Spotmatic F and an ES and a large number of M42 thread lenses, mostly
from the Super-Multi-Coated series.
At this moment (but these perceptions typically evolve in time, as most
of you will recognise), the main feature I think I'm missing is proper
flash control. Appearantly none of the thread-mount Pentax camera's
offer any advanced flash control.
Therefore, I have been watching LX's on ebay, but since my maximum
budget is ~250$, chances of winning one (in working condition) are low.
When searching the net once again, the Super Program (Super A) came to
my attention, which seems to do a good job of flash control, very
similar to the LX, but much cheaper.
Could any of you Pentax-users comment on the Super Program? Some questions:
- are the flash units for the Super Program still easy to find?
- are they the same as for the LX?
- any chance of mounting a thread-mount lens on the Super Program and
still enjoying TTL flash metering??? Otherwise, I will have to start
buying K-mount lenses...
Are there other Pentax-camera's that I should consider and that are
available on the second-hand market?
Thanks a lot for any information you can provide me with!!!
Groeten,
Vic Mortelmans
