Darned if *I* know! <g> Timewise, it fits but I don't know what Pentax had in mind. > I didn't recognize the ME and MG were so close in functionality. Check out Mr. D's site at <http://www.bdimitrov.de/kmp/>. Go to the bottom of the screen, and select "Bodies," then "Body Data & Descriptions" then finally "M-series" bodies. All the info is there on his chart... Seem to be almost identical, don't they? It might be that the MG did replace the basic ME, functionally, while the ME went off and became the ME-F and the ME-Super...but that's a wild guess on my part. I'm too new at this to make intelligent suppositions like that! <BG> keith whaley > Regards, Bob S. > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: > > << Nope.
