The ProgramPlus is excellent: handles well,feels good,looks good,very
rugged
body. Positive points for me are:
---body larger than ME-Super fits bitter in large hands
---first 2 shots of new roll automatically go to 1/1000 speed so you
dont get "lock-up" effect common to M-series if you try to reload
and advance with mode auto/lens cap on.
---uses ME-II winder (although a bit noisy to me)
A mint ProgramPlus is always a good acquisition but your $199 price is
on the high side...I just sold a mint black body with SMC-A 50/2 for
$ 115....CAMETA CAMERA ( http://www.cameta.com )
often has one for about $125 with 6 month warrantee...

Bob
