Yes. Mine does the same thing with the AF280T. Hadn't noticed before because I'm not much of a flash guy, and I've never even had a flash on my ME Super previously. Wasn't the ME Super Pentax's first attempt at flash dedication? I guessed they learned some things later on. William in Utah

Matthew, I have owned both. They are both great cameras, but have a different style to them. The MZ-S interface is more traditional and the PZ-1p is more Canon-like with spinning dials on thumb and forefinger. You really owe it to yourself to try them both. They handle differently and you may

I'm with Bruce on this one. They're pretty different cameras and you should try them both out. Here's why I traded in 2 PZ-1p's for 2 MZ-S's: - the Grip. The BG-10 battery grip makes it a very comfortable camera (as does the Grip Strap for the pz-1p) and also provides a vertical shutter release a
