I don't have an MZ-5, and I have never done any specific tests on the PZ-1p metering. I just know that after 2 1/2 years I am very happy with it. I also shoot slides, almost exclusively. The only times I have been surprised was in very difficult situations where I knew I needed something like a graduated filter and didn't have one with me. That wasn't metering it was film.
I was particularly happy with it right after buying it and shooting pictures of my son while skiing, in user mode with predictive autofocus. Marvelous. Results were exactly what I wanted and expected.
