Hi Stephen,
According to the operating manual, only the central lower sensor is
functional with manual focus lenses. If you relied on the lateral

more likely
Hi, list --
Took my new MZ-S to its first serious outing over
the weekend, Brian Redman's vintage sportscar races
in West Virginia. First impression: I'm going to
learn to like this camera very, very quickly.

Shooting with Pentax is fun. I don't take photographs for a living and so for me the

Other than the marketing hype, from reps and sales clerks, I really
