Package well received. All in spendid condition.
Thank you very much for the additional lowepro lens case. It will come in handy!

I know this is an older post. But can't help being hugely impressed by the crop from the K3 & da300 combo! How is the AF of that combo with moving birds?

recent copy?
bit worried about the sdm stories, but remain disappointed about the slow focus of my da70 in situations where i need quick focus..

Yes, the mz alikes seems to be an option as well.

Just checked on ebay and did not come accross of them that much. And usually selling them with lenses, which I don't need. I saw a lot of MZ 30, 50, ... but believe they are not fully compatible.

Overall, my thinking is that :
1. likely AF cameras will be more expensive
2. call me old fashioned, but I love the style of older cameras...

Maybe if I find a cheap one, I would go for it, but nevertheless would still like to get some opinions on the models above.

I found a post earlier requesting which film camera to buy. But the discussion was only on full manual ones (k, m series).

I would want to buy an film camera for MF but that has some exposures modes in it (since always having to think is a bit too much of the good)
i.e. A or P series.

Even more specifically, I am thinking of the super A, Program A or the P50.

Anyone who has some hands on experience with these models please advice...

for some reason, my mind tells me the A version is better. Must have read some negative comments on the autofocus version.

Also, believe is not f4 all the way..
correct me if I am dead wrong!

But I see your point, with primes it is not an issue. but with a zoom.

think I made my choice on the pentax a70-210.
Since I do mainly black & white pictures, I need the lens to deliver sharp results.

Ken, sorry, needs to be A 70 210 not F...
thks
