I know that Andrew feels the same way about his K10D and thus keeps that for good light situations. It could explain, it part, my drift away from the K20D to using Ektar 100 film!

thanks John, my wording was unclear, let me try again:
The film is rated at 200ISO. The camera is calibrated for 100 or 400 and has no exposure compensation.
given that it is colour negative film, am I correct in assuming that it will perform better overexposed by one stop by setting the camera to 100, than it will under exposed by one stop by setting the camera to 400?
The Auto 110 Super did have some exposure compensation I believe? Not very common though.thanks John, my wording was unclear, let me try again:

I once shot a roll of Kodachrome 64 through a normal Pentax 110. It was a disaster as underexposing slide film by at least 2/3rds of a stop -- usually more because you couldn't account for the skies either -- led to very dark images indeed.

It is possibly the dreaded dodgy plastic cog problem that was the Achilles heel of the MZ series. It is possible to get it replaced with a good brass one but at a cost so it depends on how much you value the camera (rather than how much the camera is 'worth' commercially).

The results on film are spectacular but trying to find affordable scanning that shows them off to their best is somewhat harder...
