Hi everyone,
Yesterday I pulled out my Spotmatic SP (with broken
lightmeter) and caressed it lovingly. I had forgotten
about a few things I took for granted that my MZ-30
doesn't have. The Spotmatic will always be my baby
(sorry Mariah Carey).
1. The manual focus screen - My MZ-30 only has the
outline of a square in the viewfinder which is about
as helpful as trying to focus through frosted glass.
And I have discovered I prefer manual focus. I take
lots of closeups with my close-up filters and
auto-focus doesn't work at all.
2. That wonderful feeling of winding on the film by
hand - nothing beats it and my MZ-30 is auto-wind.
3. I love the feel of the leather half-case in my
hands.
4. The lightmeter needle. I can't get used to these
LEDs.
So I am thinking of getting an LX as well, and trying
to get my Spotmatic fixed. I know no.1 above is
covered, but what about no.2? I don't expect to get
no.3, but that would be a bonus.
And I also hear lots about the P1-zp. I know nothing
about this camera. What does it have going for it? The
LX and P1-zp seem to have their separate fan-clubs. I
don't think I have heard from anyone who raves about
both.
Please help.
Jody.
