It does feel pretty good, and has quite the nice finder. I really like the basic ergonomics. I think I may have found a Pentax film body that works for me after a lot of trying..
I've had three MZ-series bodies (M, 3 and 5n) and never liked them much. Don't like the ergonomics and the finders suck. I'm also pretty sure the official spec on the finder (92%, 0.8x) is wrong, the finders are quite noticably smaller than the Z-1p or the similar-spec Maxxum 7 so I suspect Pentax made an oopsie somewhere and those specs should read 0.7x magnification like the lower-end MZ/ZX bodies. Anyone want an MZ-3 with Date Back F and Battery Pack Fg? For the older MF bodies, I mostly liked the LX and would be Ok with one as backup as long as I had the grip, they're a bit too small otherwise. The K2's OK (Nice layout and finder, but very unrefined with a mediocre release and non-smooth wind-on, I've been spoiled by my FM/FE/FA series bodies from Nikon). I'm not a fan of the M-series bodies (No, I don't even like the MX after owning one for a while). -Adam On Wed, Jun 16, 2010 at 9:50 AM, David J Brooks <[email protected]> wrote: > I picked up a PZ-1 from Vic in 2003 i think it was.
