Re: pz-1 viewfinder quiry
Hi! That's most unusual. At least to me. I have to wear glasses all the time (-6 diopters in each eye). I have no problems whatsoever with my ZX-L and with ME Super. In former I've ajusted the built-in diopter by focusing on some clear object with my FA 50/1.7 and then adjusting the diopter until I saw a crisp clear focus. ME Super lacks that feature, but I never saw anything distorted in either of the cameras... HTH. Boris

No problem with any Pentax camera's viewfinder while using my glasses. (The Pentax binoculars are a problem, but not the cameras -- and I have/had many Pentax cameras, including the PZ-1.) I suggest, however, that there is no one-size-fits-all rule or experience for using cameras while wearing glasses, since the style and technical specs (ha!) of glasses varies so widely. Perhaps your eyecare advisor might have a suggestion for you as to how to deal with the problem with seeing the viewfinder properly?
Re: pz-1 viewfinder quiry
My PZ-1p does not have this problem, not at all, as far as I can tell. I compare it with many cameras and I think it's among the best in Pentax, certainly better than any of the more recent designs. I wonder if your sample had its finder glass repaired or replaced in the past? Tonghang.

Maybe,but my other AF cameras that i have do not behave in this drastic way.Very,very slight distortion when moving my head or eye,hardly noticed at all.Finder info is still visible and plain to see,were as this PZ-1 only requires an extremely minute move and the finder is blurry and i cannot see the finder info(its goes blurry to) Just checked it with out glasses,only a small movement and heavy distortion. Is this something a repair shop mioght be able to do something withj,or is it pretty much one sealed unit. Dave
