Nope, I don't like its viewfinder which I think is too small and difficult to focus manually, but seems that I am the only one here. :( So don't hestitate to check it out. MZ/ZX-3, 5n, 6 & 7 can be considered too. If you want split image screen, just ask the Pentax service centre to install the MZ/ZX-M screen for you. They are interchangable. I suppose you wouldn't consider MZ-S. There were 2 or 3 Pentax AF bodies couldn't meter with pre-A lenses, but I cannot remember which (MZ-10 & MZ-30?). regards, Alan Chan _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx
