No mechanical Shutter speeds. The MXa would have to have the same as, or similar
shutter to the one in the FM3a to satisfy him or for that matter me. Sorry to answer
for you Mike but I think I'm right.

Well, I am a newbie of this list. Also I am quite new into Pentax
realm. So, perhaps I am going to say an unsophisticated thing.

But, isn't ME Super is what might pull Mike out of trouble? It is not
absolutely mechanical, but it comes close. I think it is rather
difficult to make aperture priority AE happen without some electricity
involved...

Anyway, my proposal to Mike would be either MX or ME Super. For $500
Mike could have 4 or 5 ME Supers so that he could pick his favorite
two and use the rest for parts whenever necessary.
