Response to Pentax 35mm cameras

Pentax made the ME and ME super which feature aperture priority along with the LX, much like Nikon's FE(2), and F3. I am not too hot about the ME and ME super, control layout is sad compared with the nikons. It's not my only complaint, but a shutter speed dial (rather than buttons + LCD) is better for the beginner, IMO. I would toss my pennies for the MV- I don't think it features a manual exposure mode, but is cheap. I often recommend Canon T-50's (very similiar to MV) for customers shopping for pre-teen and pre-pre-teen recipients, because the all-manuals (K-1000, FM) are easier to goof up exposure- wise.
