PZ-1p to the rescue

[John]

My mom had a little Canon point 'n shoot camera with a half exposed roll 
of film; Canon Sure-Shot Supreme. The battery was dead. You can't take 
the film out without a battery in the camera.


The camera takes a 2CR5 battery & the battery was dead. I thought I had 
a spare 2CR5 around here somewhere, but I couldn't find it. Then I 
remembered the reason I had a spare 2CR5 was because that's what the 
PZ-1p takes. Borrowed the battery from my spare body & popped it into 
the Sure-Shot & voila' ... I was able to rewind the film & get it out of 
the camera.


I'll take it in to be processed tomorrow.

I love shooting film occasionally. 
But my advice is to sell the PZ-1p and get a 67 -- or better yet, a
645 -- if you want to shoot film.

John,
It is stopping down to f4 for your pictures, not f22.

Thanks. That's probably going to save me a re-shoot.

Re: DOF Preview on PZ-1p with an 'A' lens??

[John Sessoms]

From: Bob Sullivan

John,

Depth of field with the lens set on A will go to f22 (or whatever is the max).
I don't remember it ever going to f4, even though the camera was set
that way electronically.
That DOF preview is purely mechanical.
You have to twist the aperture mechanically to f4 to see f4 with DOF preview.

Think legacy operation based on where the DOF preview lever is.
With the digitals, DOF preview is hooked into the electronics and
located by the shutter release.
(MZ-S too)

Regards,  Bob S.


But when I was taking the photo did it stop down to f/4 or f/22?

I can live with the DOF preview stopping down to f/22 in the 'A' 
position, but it's gonna' be a real bummer if I'm two thirds of the way 
through and find out everything I've done so far was screwed up.


I'm still planning to shoot extra subjects just in case, but it's not 
easy for me talking people into letting me stick a camera right up in 
their face.

Re: DOF Preview on PZ-1p with an 'A' lens??

[P. J. Alling]

IIRC DOF preview on the PZ-1p only worked properly with the aperture off 
A, the MZ/ZX 3/5n did a proper DOF preview in A mode.  I don't know 
about any of the others but that's your problem.

I'm shooting a school assignment with the PZ-1p, a SMCPA 24mm f/2.8 lens.

http://www.bdimitrov.de/kmp/lenses/primes/ultra-wide/A24f2.8.html

I have to take three photos "up close & personal" of 36 persons who I 
don't know (not friends, not family, not fellow students ... strangers).


The assignment specifies FILM and off camera flash using a Vivitar 
285HV set to "yellow" (shoe mounted radio trigger & radio slave 
hotshoe). The instructor states the Vivitar 285HV automatic exposure 
on "yellow" will provide proper illumination for f/4.


The lens is at 'A', with the camera in hyper-manual mode with the 
aperture set at f/4. Ambient light metered with a Sekonic L-408 & the 
shutter speed set 1 stop faster than metered, i.e. meter reads f/4 @ 
1/30 sec, the shutter is set to 1/60 sec.


On the third roll of film (after 22nd subject), I used the DOF preview 
button on the PZ-1p to see how much DOF I was getting. To my surprise, 
when I pressed the DOF preview the lens stops all the way down to f/22.


Do you think the camera has been stopping down to f/22 during taking, 
or is this an anomaly affecting only the DOF preview. The earliest I 
can get the film processed is Monday.


Is that a problem with the lens, with the camera, or with the 
combination of lens and camera?


And whoever was offering the PZ-1p a couple days ago, please email me 
off list. Looks like I may be in the market. I might could use my LX 
or K-1000, but I need the 1/250 sync speed.


In the meantime I've set the lens manually to f/4 and setting the 
shutter speed using hyper-manual. I will shoot additional subjects to 
back stop myself in case the first rolls turn out unusable.

Re: DOF Preview on PZ-1p with an 'A' lens??

[Rick Womer]

John,

What Bob said.

The other odd thing you might notice is that the aperture set on the lens does 
not agree with the aperture displayed in the viewfinder.  Don't worry.  The one 
set on the lens will prevail, and your exposures will be fine.

DOF Preview on PZ-1p with an 'A' lens??

FS Friday: PZ-1p body, great user condition, $125

[Joe Wilensky]

This body would likely get a BGN rating on KEH, but it operates  
wonderfully and has signs of average use.


I think this is my favorite autofocus-era Pentax body; see the specs  
at .


All caps and covers (plus strap and a battery) included; there is a  
slight mark on the top LCD (near top center; see photo) and the common  
crack on the bottom plate by the battery door (see photo) that doesn't  
affect operation in any way.


$125, includes Priority Mail shipping with insurance in the  
continental U.S., additional for shipping elsewhere.

[Miserere]

Are we allowed to comment on prices for Friday sales?

As nobody is answering... Joe, that's a great price for the 28mm f/2.
If I had any spare cash I'd take it off your hands to compare it with
the Vivitar (Komine) 28mm f/2 I have.

Good luck finding a new home for your stuff!

Thanks, Fernando and Bill. Wow, how did I forget to go to the ultimate

available on its website, all the way back to H1. Not the best quality, 
but at least it's there and free.

Hello, Folks, 

I recently acquired a used PZ-1p body. I expect to enjoy taking pictures
with it 
for the days to come. It didn't come with an instruction manual, and I can't
seem to 
find one on the web. So far I located a pdf version of the manual for PZ-1.
I suppose 
they are close enough, but there must be some differences. Does anybody know
a site 
where I can get an electronic version of the PZ-1p manual for free? I'm
aware I can 
buy one, but I'm not ready to give up yet. 

Thanks!

Re: DS2 VS. PZ-1P Focusing

[Joseph Tainter]

Hello. How is the focusing speed, accuracy and low light ability of the
DS2 compare to the PZ-1P? Thank you.

Francis

-

The D series, of course, have multiple autofocus points, while the 1p 
has has the single, central sensor. Some people use the multiple points. 
I use just the central sensor on my D, and practice focus-and-recompose. 
So for those who shoot like me, the multiple autofocus points are just 
something to turn off. But as I said, others find them useful.


For low-light shooting, one of my biggest disappointments with the D is 
how poorly it performs compared to my 1p. Outdoors in good light they 
seem to focus comparably fast. They do work differently, though. In poor 
(but not low) light, the 1p will hunt until it finds focus. In the same 
light, the D will pause and think about it for a bit, then find focus 
without hunting. I am guessing that the D does some processing so it can 
find focus without hunting. The net effect is that focus lock on both is 
comparably fast (with the noted exception of low light, when the D has 
real problems).


Joe

P.S. I can't really define what I mean by "low" and "poor" light. All I 
can say is that in indoor situations that I have experienced, the D 
autofocuses poorly (i.e., slowly), if at all. In intermediate light that 
I have experienced, the 1p might hunt before finding focus, while the D 
will pause and think, then focus without hunting.

light leakage / reflection / stray light viewfinder from my PZ-1p

[raph]

pentax list,

thanks cotty, been a rather long day here.  also been a real long time since
i've posted anything here.

mike: i've noticed it looks sorta like a reflection of sorts.  but i'm not
sure.

anyways i looked further between my PZ-1p and ZX-L.  the PZ-1p appears to
have two pieces of foam, for access to the removable focusing screen, whilst
the ZX-L has a continuous strip of foam.  this foam is probably used to
dampen and cushion the reflex mirror when it flips up for an exposure.  if
you guys don't know what i'm talking about, look at your camera body without
a lens, and look for a strip of foam near the bottom of the prism--that's
what i'm talking about.  if you can't see any foam---looks like you need to
get your camera to the shop for service! hehe!

so i took the pz-1p outside and and pointed it backward to the sun (hehe i'm
daring) and without a lens attached.  with bulb mode, i held the shutter and
looked to see what kind of light might come thru.  sure enough with a strong
incident light, some light does come thru the gap between the foam.  (man i
wish i had a digicam to show you guys what i mean--i'll try to take a pix
using my cheapy webcam when i get home).  my guess is that the stray light
coming from the viewfinder thru the gap between the foam somehow reflects
off the rear element of the lens attached and imprints itself onto the film
during an exposure.  the only lens that i think could do this is the Tokina
ATX 28-70mm f/2.6-2.8 that i have---it's rear element is quite large.  the
other two lenses i have, the Tokina ATX 80-200mm f/2.8 and Tamron SP
24-135mm f/4-5.6 design at the rear of the lens don't really look like it
would reflect.

furthermore, the leading edge of the mirror (bottom edge) on the ZX-L is
painted black, whilst the mirror on the PZ-1p isn't painted at all.  at
certain angles of the sun, the whole leading edge of the mirror can "light"
up.  if you have a coloured plastic transparent clipboard, try looking at
the edge--it will seem to be lighted.   i think this exacerbates the
problem.

in case you are wondering, the mirror seems to flip up all the way.

so this is where experimentation will come in.  i plan to get some cheapy
kodak film to shoot tests shots with my three lenses  with various angles of
the camera viewfinder pointed to a very bright sun.  afterwards, i will use
some cheap black electrical tap to just cover the gap in the foam on my
PZ-1p and retake the same shots.   i am hoping that is the problem.  a quick
run to costco for a develop only 1hr job ought to "shed some light" on my
problem.  i'll keep you guys posted.

cheers,

raphael

FS: Last chance before eBay: Pentax PZ-1p body, just serviced by Pentax

[Joe Wilensky]

This was a PZ-1p I picked up on eBay, in pretty nice shape with some 
signs of use, but I sent it to Pentax to replace the viewfinder 
optics (the eyepiece was scratched, of course) and to tune up the 
entire camera, so it's fresh from a CLA, back to original specs and 
has Pentax's repair warranty. Includes all caps, a battery, Pentax 
strap and a body cap. Standard s


$260 plus shipping. I can throw in the Pentax 28-105mm IF lens in all 
black (the Tamron rebadge), EX+ condition, with caps and tulip hood, 
for a total of $300.

FS: Pentax PZ-1p body, just serviced by Pentax

[Joe Wilensky]

This was a PZ-1p I picked up on eBay, in pretty nice shape with some 
signs of use, but I sent it to Pentax to replace the viewfinder 
optics (the eyepiece was scratched, of course) and to tune up the 
entire camera, so it's fresh from a CLA, back to original specs and 
has Pentax's repair warranty. Includes all caps, a battery, Pentax 
strap and a body cap.


$275 plus shipping. I can throw in the Pentax 28-105mm IF lens in all 
black (the Tamron rebadge), EX+ condition, with caps and tulip hood, 
for a total of $325.

FS: Pentax PZ-1p body, just serviced by Pentax

[Joe Wilensky]

I ended up with two PZ-1p bodies, thinking a backup would be smart, 
but it reality the second one just won't get any use as I'm trying to 
balance increasing digital use with a well-populated stable of 
beautiful film bodies stretching back to the pre-Spotmatic era.

Subject: PZ-1p, One Tough Dog! (Was tear to your eye)

Well, it was kinda like doing reconstructive surgery
on a species you've never seen but I managed to put
the poor beast back together as far as possible.
Stole a focus screen from a PZ-70, bent everything
back to what I guessed was close to its proper shape.
Removed the lens lock pin completely (and none too
gently)
Loaded a roll of cheap film, taped the door shut and,
burned off 36 frames in about 7 seconds!
Jeez is that motor fast!
It focuses properly, exposure seems OK in all modes,
flash works, all the controls work, viewfinder's clean.
This thing is very cool.
I THINK all I need is a new screen, the retainer clip
for it, a few parts for the lens lock assy and a new
back door.That's all! :-(

Don (Insomnia has it's uses)

I better hang on to that manual for now. ;-)

RE: Well I did it, a PZ-1p

[Jens Bladt]

You'll love it (when/if it works).
I used the Z-1 and Z-1p for 13 years (At work we still have the Z-1p, which
has not been used since I got an *ist S).  The user concept of this camera
is brilliant (modes and HYP-modes). The best user concept I have ever tried.
I t beats the *ist D, because of the optional aperture ring setting. Other
than that it's very similar to that of the *ist D. In fact one of the reason
I never really got used to the MZ-S (with a Super A user concept - mode
shift by aperture ring/time wheel).

Re: Well I did it, a PZ-1p

[Dave Kennedy]

Seems to me that the used price of the PZ-1 and PZ-1p seems to have
dropped since the release of the DS.  I was looking for a second PZ-1
body before Chistmas, and the prices seemed higher.

As the lens prices increase, film bodies decrease.

I just tried Pliobond on an SF-1n "Parts Body" I had
laying around. Worked quite well, the rubber is now
firmly attached again.

Here's the cool part:
This SF was purchased in a lot and had no lens mount.
I just figured it was dead.

body, put in a battery, it works perfectly!

I use a product called "Pliobond" made by Ashland Inc.
It's like contact cement but stays pliable and can be,

Looking at my SF-1 and SF-1n bodies, 2 have no rubber
on the grip, the other 2 have the rubber attached

Pliobond or contact cement should work fine.
Clean both with alcohol first.

Does anyone know if these came either with or without

The 2 without are very clean, like there never was

RE: Well I did it, a PZ-1p

[Joe Wilensky]

Hi, Don,
I earlier today picked up the other one (not hmayer's) that had been 
listed with a $250 Buy-It-Now, described as LN with just a few light 
scratches on the LCD screen and a missing cable release socket cap. 
Sounded pretty good, so we'll see. I have missed the PZ-1p 
(especially the flash compensation feature) since I sold one I had 
last year ...

Joe

Harry Mayer (hmayer12) has one on eekBay for $350.00 mint also.
I was very, very tempted but if I can fix this one and sell the
70-210 I should make out pretty well.
If I like it as much as some do, a mint one can be had for around
$250-$275 going by recent auction prices.
Probably less if I wait a while, the nice ones like the SF-1n
and ZX/MZ-5n have been dropping very rapidly in the last few
months.

RE: Well I did it, a PZ-1p

[Don Sanderson]

Harry Mayer (hmayer12) has one on eekBay for $350.00 mint also.
I was very, very tempted but if I can fix this one and sell the
70-210 I should make out pretty well.
If I like it as much as some do, a mint one can be had for around
$250-$275 going by recent auction prices.
Probably less if I wait a while, the nice ones like the SF-1n
and ZX/MZ-5n have been dropping very rapidly in the last few

Good luck with getting it up and running - with my Mz-S in the shop I have 
used my Pz-1p for some slides lately, and it is a joy to work with. It will 
never happen but if Pentax had just upgraded the AF and metering (the 8 
segment metering in the Pz-1p was good, but not as good as the 6 segment 
metering that replaced it) they would of had a killer camera on their 
hands. The Mz-S is nice - but a bit of a niche machine as the design ethic 
is unique unto itself and specs are good, but limited in some regards.

FS Friday - PZ-1p socket cover

[Lindamood, Mark]

Paranoid that I was going to lose the cable release socket cover on my PZ-1p, I 
tacked one onto another order from Pentax CO years ago and still have it, even 
tho the PZ-1p, alas, is long gone (and the socket cover never was lost).  I'll 
sell it for $11, which includes mailing it.

Of course, that's the point, Av = set the aperture. I meant Tv, like

It locks up the mirror during the 2 seconds like
the 1p?

Not to seem compulsively argumentative, Kostas, but indeed on the PZ-1 you 
may be in Av mode setting the aperture on the lens, or on the body.
And in Hyper Manual mode you can do both as well.
You'd said the DOF-preview doesn't work in Program or Tv mode; I agree; but 
wanted to clarify that in Hyper Manual mode and Av mode, whether DOF-preview 
is available depends on how you are using the controls in those modes.

OK -- speaking of which -- there's no mirror lockup on the plain PZ-1 but I
believe the -1p has it with two-second self-timer.

Correct, and a good point, a great feature of these bodies. But when
you do that you are no longer on P or Av :-)

RE: PZ-1 versus PZ-1p

[Don Sanderson]

Thanks Ern, that's a good point to know.
Boz's site does list 2-second mirror pre-fire for the 1p.
Didn't see that before, that's a biggie for me.
I use that feature on the ist-D a lot.
As far as setting the aperture a lot of my better glass is
Pentax K or M so using the aperture ring is a natural for
me. As a matter of fact I still find settig F stop from
the body a little wierd.

Another way to put this is that you have to set the aperture on the lens 
aperture ring in order for the depth-of-field preview to work.

(I mention this because there's more than one way to use metered manual or Av 
on that camera, and some of them involve setting the aperture from the camera 
body.)

RE: PZ-1 versus PZ-1p

[Don Sanderson]

I use DOF Preview mostly for closeup/macro, I usually use the KX
for that because of the mirror lockup.
When I use an Auto camera it's Av most of the time and manual the rest.
So far, so good. ;-)
I would like something a little sturdier than the 5n sometimes.
The SF-1n fills the bill but it's very loud.

If you use DOF-preview and program mode or Tv, the PZs don't work. The

Thanks Bob, every so often a PZ-1 goes for a song on eekBay.

Re: PZ-1 versus PZ-1p

Don,
I own and use both.  
Bought the PZ-1 first and still like it better for slides.
Flash compensation is easier with the PZ-1p, but rarely used by me.
Frames per second is a bit faster on the PZ-1p also...
Overall, they feel identical and are identical to use.

Don,

I have one of each in active use (or usually do, but
the PZ-1 is in Colorado getting its health restored).

I would definitely go for the PZ-1p.  It's smoother,
quieter, more grippable, has (slightly) faster AF,
better pop-up flash coverage, easy flash exposure
compensation (making fill-flash much easier), and more
convenient access to custom functions.

The PZ-1 has a couple of power zooming options the 1p
doesn't have (two zoom memory settings instead of one,
for example) but I'm not using power zooming lenses
anyway.  The PZ-1 also has an intervalometer, which I
have used exactly twice in 12 years and 500+ rolls (I
thought it might yield interesting spontaneous party
candids.  It doesn't.)

The PZ-1p can be had for a song on eBay these days.  A
midwestern camera shop had one up earlier this week,
factory refurbished with a 1y Pentax USA guarantee.

Cheers,

Rick

PZ-1p for sale in Canada

[geo]

Hi everyone
 
I’m also very attached to my PZ-1p.  I bought it in 2000 after much
consideration.  Several camera store owners had lambasted it as a bulky dumb
ugly body that was outdated.  Luckily for me, I didn’t believe them.  I
began to read the glowing reviews on this camera.  Then, I tried it out and
was hooked!  I’m sure those salespeople I talked to had NEVER picked one up
before.  
 
But now I want to switch to digital.  I have a big project coming up for my
studies and don’t want to spend the $1400 I had to spend last time on film
and processing. 
 
So my PZ-1p is up for sale.  Here’s my ad:
 
Pentax PZ-1p body for sale here in Canada. This PZ-1p lives up the camera's
outstanding reputation. The camera’s hyperprogram interface is outstanding
and is extremely intuitive interface. The camera is in good condition
cosmetically and in excellent mechanical condition. It has been very well
cared for. 
The camera has several fine scratches on the pop-up flash, on the LCD panel
and on the baseplate. As with so many of the PZ-1p cameras, it has that
common small crack next to the screw on the camera body baseplate. These
scratches are small and unless you're a perfectionist, they won't bother you
in any way. The camera is in outstanding operating condition. This includes
the body, mount cover, and camera strap.  I’m asking $400 Canadian dollars
but will negotiate.

But I'm a university student now and need the money for a project and so
must give up my prized camera. 
I have several hi-res digital photos of the camera if you'd like to see it.
Buyer pays actual shipping costs. 
 
Thanks 
 
Ray
 

RE: Problem with buttons on back of PZ-1p

[Dave Madsen]

You should still be able to order a replacement door from Pentax USA for not
a lot of money.  Changing the back door on it is very easy.  When you open
the back door and look at the hinge there should be a small screw near the
top of the hinge.  Don't get out that mini screwdriver!  Simply use your
fingernail to slide the screw down along the hinge axis, releasing the door
from the body.  Reverse the process to replace it.  Easy.  If you have
problems finding the door I may be able to help - I have friends at a local
repair shop.

Hello, everyone.  It's been a while since I've posted to the list.  I have a
quick question.

The exposure compensation and metering mode buttons on the rear door of my
PZ-1p have just failed.  Does anyone know the easiest (cheapest) solution?
Wasn't there once a databack (time/date stamp thingy) available?  Is that
something I could buy and install myself to solve my problem?  Is it still
available anywhere?  Is there a better solution?

Thanks,

Somehow the original message didn't get to either my
email or the archives; but anyway...

In what way did the buttons fail?  If they go in and
out but nothing happens, the first thing to try is
cleaning the contacts at the bottom of the door.

The back can be removed easily so you might just buy another one to replace
