Pentax hadn't yet discovered that putting a big LCD on the back allows intelligible CF descriptions. A pity, my Maxxum 7 (film camera, circa 2000) had this. Of course Minolta always was a little ahead of the time, their first camera with a big LCD on the back was the Maxxum 9000 in 1985 whose Program Back Super 90 had a large LCD on the back, although not a bitmapped one like modern versions. -- M.
