It was a flippant comment seeing as Kodak is no longer in business, but as John Riley says, probably the best colour film ever and a good one to learn photography with as once the shutter button was pressed, that was it, no going back, image could not be changed as it had to be sent away to be processed.

Should you research it you will find that in September 2013 "the company emerged from bankruptcy having shed its large legacy liabilities." (Wikipedia.)

I think it has made a little comeback as the film cameras do give you a very different experience to a DSLR. Still like DSLRs though. But seeing Ferrania start up and Ilford staying strong I just need to save up a little more to get back into practice but it seems to be around for the long term anyway. Even at the level of smallish scale specialists.
K5, K200 and several film Pentax cameras!

The moral here is that you can't believe all you read or perhaps its been taken out of context and led you to misunderstand.

I got lucky on ebay last week and bought a Super A + Takumar macro zoom for £36. I will be lucky to get a fiver for the zoom, but the Super A is... well.... just super. Apart from a missing cover for the winder connection on the baseplate, it looks like it was unboxed yesterday. Absolutely mint. Works like a dream too. I have always wanted a Super A and am over the moon with this.
keep looking George, there is one out there somewhere with your name on it.
I don't believe it has a winder cover. I thought the same when I got mine to find that they didn't have one unlike the ME Super etc.I got lucky on ebay last week and bought a Super A + Takumar macro zoom for £36.

It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera… they are made with the eye, heart and head. Henri Cartier-Bresson
Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

There should be a cover for the winder connection, it would be very vulnerable without one. Every Super A and Program A I have owned has had one in place.
Best regards, John

mmm the plot thickens. There should be a cover for the winder connection, it would be very vulnerable without one. Every Super A and Program A I have owned has had one in place.
That does make sense to me john. I did try the screw cover from an old ME and that does not fit. I did have a look on ebay for a Super-A being sold for spares, but all of them have the cover missing...perhaps they were all fitted with winders and the covers are all lost down the back of the proverbial sofa.

Winders were in "in thing" at the time, so that's entirely possible. It would be very sloppy to sell a camera with an exposed connection.

Just had a look on ebay and all the one's I looked at including a mint one with the plastic bottom protection still in place hadn't got any cover. Looking at one of my Super-A's the hole isn't threaded, just stepped.
The Super-A Manual shows the bottom on one shot and that hasn't got a cover.
EDIT:
None shown on the parts diagram or in the catalogue..
