R> Mark Rofini Thank you all. It's a pity about the aperture readout window. I love this feature of both K2DMD (normal K2s lack it) and my new LX. IMNSHO, they (pentax) could just made a hole in between PEN and TAX nameplate on the FA2 and put the window there :) I taped the Pentax nameplate with black tape immediately after purchase of the LX, it's much more inconspicious now (although less nice). As a heresy, I am trying to locate a Zenit or similar lowend slr nameplate and glue it with double-sided tape there, to lessen chance of stealing /attracting more attention ;-))) Anyway, the FA2 would be ideal for me (with aperture readout), as the hotshoe makes the FA1 not "fluent", it catches more on things etc. On OM olympuses I like the detachable hotshoe much.
