Mac,

You might like golf better if you tried playing with clubs instead of guitars.

I bet you get a lovely noise when you drive, though.

Thanks to Ebay, I am now reunited with a Super A, as well as an SPII. Both cost very little, I'm happy to say.

And, Mac, you're on the road to ruin, I'm sorry to tell you. You have a disease, and it's virtually incurable.

I think the ME was much MORE popular, in terms of the number sold. It was upgraded to the ME Super, which was one of the most popular SLR cameras of all time.

It's fair to say that the MX was very popular too, but with photographers who on the whole were more knowledgeable, and therefore less numerous, than the average ME/ME Super owner.

The final, and best, camera in the ME line was the Super A. Although supposedly a different range altogether, the Super A is effectively an ME Super with all possible exposure modes.

I owned all three, and the Super A is clearly superior to the other two. My favourite Pentax body.

Note the smiley.

That was me apologising. This site seems to have developed a habit of logging people out.

So it's not a proper format then, in the normal sense of the word? Pity they use a term which usually means something else.

With my old Fuji camera, deleting the pictures while the card was in the computer mean that the card had to be reformatted in the camera.

The Pentax DSLRs, however, do not object to having the pictures deleted by the computer, which is obviously more convenient than doing it in-camera.

Re-formatting should be avoided.

Excellent! Very many thanks. Please don't delete it too quickly. I'll DL the whole thing when I have a moment.

That's what I call a rapid response. Now when can we expect the *ist D mk II?

Thanks again

I went to look up the price-list, and found it had gone. This is a great pity, because it was very useful for seeing what things used to cost, even if they were no longer available.

If it's possible to re-introduce it, I, for one, would be pleased to see it back.
