debating on buying an mx....
Hi all, Today I came across a used black MX at a local camera store, and I'm debating on whether to buy it or not. Its pretty beat up, lots of brassing and missing one of the screw-in covers on the bottom(not the battery cover), but no dents, they're asking $175 CAN. To me, this seems like a pretty good deal from what I've seen on ebay, but then again, most of the bodies on ebay were in pretty good condition. Does anyone know of anything to watch out for when buying a used MX? Any advice would be much appreciated! thanks, -Paul C _ Join the worlds largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.

MZ-S; fit for the outdoors?
Hi all, As I have found my Z-1p to be rather lacking in the ruggedness department, I'm considering buying an MZ-S as a second body(or as a replacement) for taking on outdoor expeditions, ie: multi-day backpacking, hiking, backcountry skiing (actually snowboarding...), mountain biking, traveling in wet/humid/dry conditions and so on. The features I am most in need of are: build-quality, weather sealing, ergonomics, electronic features, and user interface. In regards to build-quality, I know that the MZ-S is much better than my Z-1p, but how much of the MZ-S is actually metal? Isn't the back made of plastic? In the case of weather sealing, I would like a camera that is well sealed against moisture and dust, I recall this being discussed a while back, but can no longer remember--or locate in the archives--the final word. And as for ergonomics, electronic features and user interface, apart from having rather slow fps--which I don't really need--I have found the MZ-S to be adequate. I would appreciate it if anyone who has experience with the MZ-S(especially outdoors), could fill in the some of the blanks, and share some thoughts and comments. thanks, -Paul C Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.

Re: Rare prototypes and the Limited zoom

Re: New Pentax S-1, MZ-1 and MZ-4(2?)
Wow, I sure hope these are the future plans for the Pentax slr lineup. I'll be especially pleased if they come out with a "S-1" type camera to replace my z-1p. Maybe it will be compatable with a new line of FA II USM lenses. That would make for a killer system. -paul From: Pål Jensen [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: New Pentax S-1, MZ-1 and MZ-4(2?) Date: Wed, 28 Mar 2001 00:19:19 +0200 Pentax have been showing their plans about the future 35mm slr line-up at the Japan camera show. The MZ-S was said released while the Z-1p evolves into it successor and the MZ-3 to its upgrade models. The line-up was illustrated by diagrams showing the Z-1p sucessor at one end and the MZ-3 upgrades in the other. The MZ-S is a fusion and a midpoint between the two model lines. Whats more natural than making your only digital slr an average of your product line? The MZ-S fuses the MZ-line with the Z-1p sucessor - fusion of MZ-3 and Z-1p interface. The "MZ" in the MZ-S name obviously refer to the MZ-series values in the camera. It's then natural (for me) to assume the the "S" in MZ-S refer to the name of the Z-1p successor. I hereby guess its going to be called S-1. Its interesting to note the words here: For the Z-1p the word sucessor is used - not upgrade. So its most likely a new camera and maybe even a new series of cameras. At least it indicate that the Z-name won't be used. For the MZ-3 upgrade they talk about cameras. Hence, its to be expected that two bodies will be placed above the MZ-5n in the MZ-series (maybe the MZ-5n/3 will be replaced by one of them). So what is this S-1 like? I believe its very likely that it continue refining the interface and feature set of the Z-1p but of course add up-to-date features. Maybe some novelties. More uncertain is whats exactly meant by Z-1p sucessor. Is it pricewise or conceptually? I believe that an S-1 conceptually moulded after the Z-1p will cost more than the MZ-S which means that the S-1 is an upmarket move. The MZ-3 upgrades are another matter. My guess is that one of them most definitely is the MZ-1. The other an MZ-4 or MZ-2. I see two posibilities for the MZ-2/4: a) a sort of MZ-7 plus; b) a quite litteral upgrade of the MZ-3 retaining its conservative user interface. If you look at the diagram the MZ side definitely indicate small size. However, its unclear also wheter it implies conservative user interface and economy in features. There are indications of the latter; remember the MZ-S is said to be a mid points and it indeed fuse conservative interface with modern Z-1p type. Hence, its conceiveable that Pentax intend to split their slr line up in two series; a) an MZ-series which are small and easy to use camera and b) an S-series which are feature laden and larger. Since neither the MZ-S or an S-1 is very convincingly as the "Limited" camera, I have again start believeing in the MZ-1 as exactly that; a connouisseur conservative style aluminium dody designed to match the Limited lenses and to appeal to the MX and LX users. Theres nothing saying when these cameras will be released. However, its likely that the next to come is one of the MZ-3 upgrades; MZ-2 or MZ-4? BTW Pentax also work hard on further miniaturization of their medium format equipment. Pål - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.

Re: Also MZ-S hands on

What were your impressions of the viewfinder and the AF? Thanks, Ed I didn't pay much attention to the area of the viewfinder, but the brightness was about what you would expect. Satisfactory but not great. I thought the autofocus was very quick and the ease of changing AF sensors was very well thought out. Simply turning a dial while looking through the viewfinder illuminates which AF sensor you are using with an LED at the bottom of the viewfinder. Slick, but may be hard to see in bright sunlight. It was overcast yesterday when I got to play with it. Also, according to the brochure, the AF can be locked either by the traditional 1/2 shutter or by pressing the AF button on the back of the camera. I'll try and scan the brochure, but since it's much larger than my flatbed scanner bed I may not be able to.

I'm thinking it would be a nice replacement for my 28-105 PZ. -paul _ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com. - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
