Latest Review Posted	Pentax Super A / Super Program Just wanted to add that ergonomics are personal and I sold the one I bought on eBay after shooting one roll of film. For me this had the worst ergonomics I have ever seen on a film SLR. I found the lock on the control dial EXTREMELY hard to release and the two tiny buttons next to it nearly as hard to use. The LCD on top reads a display down a dark hole viewed (with great difficulty) through a tiny window and the readout in the viewfinder is not much better. The later ZX-M and ZX-5n are at the opposite end of the spectrum with intuitive and easy to use controls while the A-3 and P-3 families are certainly easier (for me) to use than this. Your mileage may vary but if you are considering this model I suggest you get your hands on one and see if the readouts and controls annoy you as much as they did me. I mark it "recommended" only for the feature set.
