Delano... I'm not sure if I'd qualify as a pure-exclusive MF shooter as I do have 1 AF lens (50mm f1.4) that I bought with my Zx-5n QD, I personally find the ZX-5n a pretty nice MF camera, once you change out the focusing screen. I've had a learning curve to get over I'll admit... Mostly the cessation of reliance on the auto-exposure capabilities, but it's control layout similarity with the K-1000 and in fact most older MF Pentax bodies makes it great.
That's just my 2cents (US). -- John Date: Thu, 10 Jan 2002 11:37:57 -0600 From: Delano Mireles <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Anyone shoot MF exclusively? Hi all, I'm in the process of searching for a MF camera and was wondering if anyone here shoots MF exclusively? Trying to decide if I should ditch my ZX-5n, upgrade my digital olympus for snapshots and go MF for everything else. I'm really wanting to get into portrait photography (mainly children) and it really seems like MF is the way to go. Any opinions? Thanks, Delano - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
