It was called Super Program in the US (where I lived at the time) or Super A elsewhere. I later moved up to a Pentax LX, a wonderful piece of kit, built like a tank but from memory not nearly as big or heavy as today's pro DSLRs. I only sold in Brussels in the late 1990s, to partly finance the newly discovered Leica M system I was getting into at the time.
