As far as I know, there is no authoritative source stating the > MZ (ZX) series ignores MTF info available in FA lenses. > In fact, I think this myth originates from the statement of a former > Pentax engineer (published on an old Pentax FAQ site), alleging that > (P)Z-1p was the only camera capable of reading the MTF info.

I'm not sure about the (P)Z-1, but am pretty sure no other bodies have this.
