Mark,
Good job - congratulations!
Program mode is useful if you mount a WA lens. The program seems to
want to use the smallest practical f-stop, hence you can pre-set the
focus and fire away. Great for parties, as has been discussed lately.
I would consider a "2" series focusing screen. Mine originally came
with a 1-13. The 2-13 brightened up the world considerably.
