Thanks for the replies
Nesster - I'm open to the spotties at some point, however my girlfriend has an excellent condition Spotmatic SPII (i think) she inherited that needs a bit of a service... If that's not terminal I'll have a go at it eventually, K-mounts are enough work for me for the time being
Originally posted by dandaniel Interesting comment on the shutter. I'm thinking of getting a back-up body to an ME Super and the Super Program attracts me, primarily because of the shutter speed readout on the top panel. There are times when I'd like a better idea of the shutter speed without raising the camera to my face.
You say the shutter is loud? Louder than an ME Super?
I don't have much to compare the shutter sound to really, but I would say it's louder than the following:
- K200D (quietest of my bodies by far)
- MZ50 (quiet-ish apart from the winder noise)
- ME Super (I'd say the Super Program is louder, but not by much)
So far I have just put a test roll through it, which I'm glad to say exposed very well. I do like the LCD panel on the top of the camera and inside the viewfinder too, very handy. I picked this one up remarkably cheap, so I'd recommend you try one as well if possible.
One last note about the shutter sound - IMO it sounds awesome
thanks for looking... cheers,
