Hi all, Today, I went to downtown and touched the MZ-L. The following is my impressions;
The body is almost the same as MZ-7. The PENTAX emblem is different; 7's is printed, L's is carved. DOF preview is added. The minimum shutter is upgraded to 1/4000. X-synch is also upgraded to 1/125. Cable release is changed. IR remote controller is attached. Pentax Functions are as follows; PF1: AEB value; 0.5EV, 0.3EV, 0.7EV, 1.0EV PF2: AEB frames; 3 frames, continuous PF3: IR controller release timing; 3 seconds, real time PF4: IR controller focusing; not focus, focus PF5: AE-L metering mode; Spot, 6 areas metering PF6: AE-L with shutter button; not optimised, optimised PF7: AF mode with Moving object mode; AF servo, AF single PF8: LCD lighting; auto, on with preview button, off PF9: Mode dial lighting pattern; round, circle, off PF10: Film rewind; total, leaving the head PF11: Built-in flash with P-TTL; master, controller I also noticed that Pentax is now using the term "AE Lock" instead of "Memory Lock". It seems they have changed their term from MZ-S. (645NII and MZ-L, also).
