Re: Panorama switch on Z-70 and PZ70

According to the AOHC magazine "SPOTMATIC" n°33, page 15, Reflex Pentax
1952-2002 by Dario Bonanza:
Z-20 and Z-70 have been sold in Japan with panorama features only
(Z-20p/1993, Z-50p/1995)
I read too a MF body, industrial version of ME in half-format (18x24mm)

Could it be, that it is Z-70 with date back? I wonder if these
Z-series date backs
could have panorama function and switch?


My PZ-70 does have a date back. Although it is possible that Pentax 
only put a date back on bodies made with the panorama switch, I should 
stress that the panorama switch is not part of the date back.

Check this link out:
http://ulita.ms.mff.cuni.cz/~obdrz/camera/pentax/pz70.htm

It states that the PZ70 dosen't have a panorama switch.

You might be right, as this is exactly the case with the MZ-10/ZX-10. 
Unfortunately, I do not have enough data to really get a clear
picture...

For me, both Z-70 and PZ-70 aren the same, and don't have a panorama

In the Pentax-Z-serie, the alone bodies that have panorama mode are:
Z-50p and Z-1p/PZ-1p
But no exist PZ-50p in US, only Z-50p in other country ?

I only have downloaded owner manual for PZ-70 and PZ-20, no bodies !
Perhaps the PZ-70 has a panorama switch only in certain country (Japan) ??
My daughter has a Z-50p with panorama switch (and french manual), so I'm 
sure !

Hi,

thanks to all who responded to my query on the Z-70/PZ-70 cameras!

It seems that the Z-70 does not have a panorama switch, but the PZ-70
does.  Neither Z-70p nor PZ-70p seem to exist.

Cheers,
Boz
