Another film camera........ :-)
Lovely cameras in the tradition of the M series but with more bells and whistles. Everything got a major redesign when the SF series came along. It takes the MEII winder or the Motordrive A. The manual is available online.
Some info here. Alternatively, John Riley wrote an article about the series in Pentax User a few issues back.
Best wishes, Kris.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

I love my K200D but the film cameras are really the hobby part, even though it does cost money for developing!

Seeing it was a Pentax I asked how much it was and was pleasantly surprised that the stall holder only wanted £20 for it. So, for that worth a punt?
So now I have a Pentax Program A in, as far as I can tell, good working order and in good condition with the original manual. Came with a SMC 'A' 1:4 35-70 zoom lens which seems to be a very usable set of lengths. Just about finished the test roll after photographing wet and cold medieval re-enacters on Sunday! Be interesting to see what the results are! Still a nice camera to hold and use but I can't find too much information about it other than it's the little brother of a "Super Program" model?
So is it any good? I hope so! Otherwise it's nice to have added to my small yet growing Pentax collection! THough the girlfriend is possibly less enthusiastic!
