Another thing, I noticed on keh.com that ZX-M is available in excellent condition for $120. How is this new-age manual focus body compared to those from the '80s??
Haven't seen a lot of discussion on P3/P30T on this list here. Any comments? Also, which of these older cameras have "better" viewfinders than others? I mean, magnification and brightness? I recently went on a trip with couple of friends. One had a Canon EOS Rebel and another Nikon N65 (??) and felt that the viewfinders on both were much better than the one in my PZ-1. BTW, would anyone recommend a non-Pentax K mount manual focus used camera? I have no idea about Olympus, Canon, Nikon etc. Are they cheaper? And as good as Pentax or not worth looking at?
