Not being an expert here but having these cameras helps the super a and super program are the same camera, the super programs go for less money. My opinion is these two cameras have the best viewfinder opposed to MX,LX,ME SUPER , however the LX has the advantage of not having to cover the view finder on the tripod. Light entering the finder on the other listed cameras will affect exposure readings.

My background follows. I have an MZ-50 and an MZ-5n. They are meant to differ a lot in viewfinder capability, but I honestly cannot see the difference. I can definitely see the difference between the viewfinder of the ME Super and the MZs and also that the P30 (about to be sold, I hope) is somewhere in between. I had a look at the pages of the star known as Boj Dimitrov. It seems that the only TTL-flash manual camera that costs less than my left kidney is the super-A (surprisingly, the P series that succeeded the super-A don't offer TTL flash). All AF cameras feature it. I have followed previous discussions on the list about how size does not matter much, it's other characteristics that matter to the brightness of the viewfinder and thought to ask people their opinion on the viewfinder abilities of the super-A, the SFs and the Zs compared to the ME Super and the MZs (not the MZ-S though, which is supposed to be as good as its price tag :-) Thanks in advance, Kostas
