I have to agree with Bruce here, owning both a Z1 (not even a Z-1p) and an MZ-3 I find that for fast AF the Z1 is superior. The MZ-3 can be more accurate sometimes, but that depends a lot on the lenses used and subject pattern and such ... I do use the MZ-3 a lot with the 77mm and 31mm lenses mainly because it is a very light body. (feels like half the Z1 :-) Regards, JvW ------------------------------------------------------------------ Jan van Wijk; http://www.dfsee.com/gallery
