Perhaps I made myself unclear, sorry for that.
Of course it locks focus in the AF.S mode. What I wanted to say is that when
I tried to lock it, I often took accidental shots before the lock, because
of lack of the clear stop in the half way down of the release button. Of

And it was M35/2.8 lens for sure? test was done about 15 year ago I think.
Even better than Zeiss? I asked since many people believe K 35mm lenses are alegedly
much better.
I find this a bit weird as I assume (correct me if I'm wrong) the M 35/2.8 is
optically identical to the

Hi all,
I'm just curious how many 35mm slr (or maybe not necessarily slr) you own.
And what is the lowest number that

Tasty! Looks like the first one is an MZ-S based DSLR... now if we just
had some news! Can patents really be timed for release this accurately?
Hope so.
It could be. The AF system of the MZ-S was filed immediately before it was shown at
Photokina 2 years ago. Thats the good

Don't know about negative film but the sharpest slide film is Kodachrome 25 followed
by Kodachrome 64 and then Velvia. Yes, Velvia have smaller grain and higher resolution
than Kodachrome 64 but it ain't

No way! Provia F is no sharper than other 100ISO films. It's just less grainy. Some
even say that shots with Provia F looks soft. It would be a total disaster if they
make Velvia at the same

Huh??
The ES was the worlds first camera with electronic shutter and the first with aperture

- is it true that every Pentax camera, that is equiped with a 6-segment

that has it?
As far as I know, Only the 645N/NII has it.
- what is exactly all about this dual six-segment metering? How does it

What is contradictory about MZ-S is that the camera, that is claimed to be a
successor of Z-1p on the flagship position, is both more and less advanced than
Z-1p.
This is not contradiction it's a mistaken assumption. The MZ-S is not a replacement
for the Z-1p (in fact, Pentax

There's no contradictions with the MZ-S.
Moreover, lack of promotion and information,
together with a bit too high price (when compared with Dynaxx 7 for example)
and those contradictions don't make its future bright IMHO.
Well, it can't be

Medium format is the most popular format for landscape photography on a global basis.
This is the market Pentax is catering for. The studio market is crowded and Pentax
have never shown much interest in it.

It goes much deeper than that. Most features and parts of the interface on the MZ-S is
self-evident. While pressing a button while

Thus, I can't really justify how the MZ-S is about double the PZ-1P.
Please help me find how I can make the transition in my mind to tell myself
that I can spend $400+ more on the MZ-S.
You are comparing a ten year old camera sold at discount price with a brand new one.

Hi Gerald and ALL.

I believe it means that the floating machanism ensure optimum optical quality
regardless of focusing distance. Floating elements are usually employed to improve
optical quality at close range.
