It won the prestigious European Camera of the Year award for 1983-1984. This particular example (serial number 118639) comes with a nice SMC Pentax-A 50mm F2 lens. This is how the Pentax Forum page dedicated to the Super Program\/Super-A describes the camera: \"[d]isregarding the Pentax LX which is in a class by itself, the Pentax Super Program is the top model among all Pentax manual focus cameras when it comes to features and specifications.\" And indeed it really does pack a lot of features into a small body (including a nice program auto exposure mode and an impressive 1\/2000 top shutter speed; and a faster flash sync speed than the LX).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition notes \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe camera and lens (SMC Pentax A 1:2 50mm) were tested with film and performed perfectly.
