Hi, A lot of the group own the PZ-1p. What items for the this camera have some of you acquired that make it easy, if that's the term, to use in everyday shooting. I know I can't get an AA adapter for it like I got for my SF1n camera. Some have mentioned a grip that make handling the PZ easier. Finally, I shoot some photos on a tripod. Instead of attaching a cable release, I use the camera's self timer to trip the shutter. When my eye is away from the VF, does the extraneous light affect the auto exposure? My older ESII has a blind. The ES had a VF cover to block light. I think the LX isn't affected by light entering the VF. Thanks, Jim A. - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
