I knew instantly and exactly just where you were going with that - <g>.

As much as I sometimes get annoyed by "forced automation", I do see the
advantage to my Super A's, which set the shutter speed automatically at
1/1000 or 1/2000 (I forget which) for the "pre-shots", before reverting to
whatever settings were in place before changing rolls.
