Nope, the Canon was beaten to market by a couple months. ==========<<<<< But the A-1 had five metering modes: Shutter Priority Aperture Priority Program Manual Stopped Down Metering Too bad it only had an average metering pattern. The R-3 had two metering patterns The reason an R-3 should have a faster sync speed is the vertical shutter. The A-1 was horizontal. Even my F-1's only sync at 1/90 with the horizontal shutter and the Pentax 6x7 syncs at 1/30th with the horizontal shutter as well.. But your other basic vertical shutter models like the T-90 and FM2 sync at 250 not to mention most all autofocus models. Duane Birkey HCJB World Radio Quito Ecuador
