Thanks, Brian (and others) - I'll go and get some batteries :-) I got a very nice (looks like new) Super A for just 27 Euros in Germany - actually a great country to buy from, that is if you speak German. Because of the language problems (many Germans are not comfartable with speaking or writing English) , many Germans normally ship world wide, which means the items will never go very high at ebay :-) Many international sellers will ask for 5 times this much :-)
Now I have allmost re-purchased every Pentax film camera I have ever sold - MX, ME-super, Super A, Z1p, MZ-S etc. Now I can afford to keep them all :-) Regards Jens -- Treat others as you would like to be treated yourself.
