Yeah, pentax forum - Any comments on differences from Pz-1p users who also use the MZ-S.

[keith_merrill]

Howdy all, Finally a pentax forum. I currently use a Pz-1p and an MX

for my 35mm set up along with a great set of FA, and M lenses, and

would like to know from users of the MZ-S if they have found the

cameras function similarly or if they have had any adjustment

problems. I am very used to the pz and would like to avoid carrying

and constantly refering to a manual. Also, I would like to know how

users feel about the MZ-S, if it is worth the cost. Thanks

I beleive there is some commentary on this issue on photographyreview.com.

While I've not used the MZ-s I doubt that my trusty Pz-1p would give

much ground to it in any way. Basicly I don't care for the layout of the MZ-s. That plus , from where I stand, the Mz-s,while "new", is not

measurably better as a camera in any feature that would cause me to

spend money for it.

what i like about the mz-s

-battery pack (which is not available for the z1-p)

-imprint of shot data on negative (diafragm,speed,under/overexpo...)

-45 degrees panel which easily can be read from behind the camera

 

what i miss/dislike

-the spot/integral is now a knob that must be turned, instead of a button at the z1-p. I liked that one more.

-mz-s on/off knob can be turned on automatically when it is you backpack and rubbing against the wall.
