I was wondering if the power zoom function would work with the ZX-60 or the *istDS. The description of the lens at B&H stated power zoom was a function of the ZX series cameras (this is most likely a typo on their part). The Pentax literature specifically stated that there is no power zoom function with the *ist or the *istD. They conveniently left that part out in their description of the ZX-60 and the *istDS. Sorry for the confusion and thanks for the reply.

The FA manual suggests that this functionality will work with the MZ-S. Page 18. The MZ-S manual indicates the same thing.

However, what good is being enabled with a power zoom lens if you don't have a power zoom camera? <vbg> -- Scott Loveless Born free. Taxed to death.
