(SBR) Just count the differences in the LED's.

Quite simply, just a joy to work with!
I really, really enjoy this camera but I can't justify keeping it when I have a Super Program and don't shoot film all that much to begin with. The older Pentax SLRs are gorgeous hunks of metal, but I feel bad being a collector when there are lots of people out there who would still like to actually use them.

Yeah, the Super Program grip is a handy addition, and the small size is very nice for street shooting. Someone should enjoy this body very much.
