I parted it a year ago when I was selling my MZ-3 and the buyer wanted 28-105 to go with it. Now I miss it. Besides, my statement had to be in the past tense. I HAD all these PZ zooms but not now except one. Ummm, 28-105PZ was a good handy one :-(. Ken -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net

IMO, the latter is the > case. :-) I wonder if the ILM contacts are switched other than with the on/off switch? It would make sense to not have constantly live power contacts hanging about, just in case someone manages to short them. Once a suitable lens is attached it might inform the body to turn on the contacts. A PZ lens (probably) would not do that. m - Email sent from www.ntlworld.com Virus-checked using McAfee(R) Software Visit www.ntlworld.com/security for more information -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
Re: K10D - NO PowerZoom :(
PZ isn't mentioned in the press release. Either it means that it is not implemented, or it means that they don't think it's a function worth mentioning. IMO, the latter is the case. :-) Jostein On 9/13/06, Margus Männik <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Am I really the only one who uses and loves this feature? > > BR, Margus > > > > -- > PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List > PDML@pdml.net > http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net > -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net

I thought it was useful particularly for a longer and heavier lens such as 80-200/2.8. I had a 28-70/2.8 as well. The PZ for that particular lens was not quite useful but it did not bother me to have it available. Actually, looking back, I have all PZ lenses including 28-120 and 70-200 (consumer zooms). I sold them all. If you do not use the PZ function, it only adds up the weight and perhaps the diameter (and money :-).

Re: K10D - NO PowerZoom :(
I used it when I was using the 28-80/3.5-4.7 lens. When I got the 24-90, I stopped using it of course, and didn't miss it one bit.
