I could only imagine it was either the motor, or some worn parts like shaft
or gears etc. Never open mine to see what it looks like, sorry. But it
doesn't sound expensive to fix, for the parts at least (labour ecxlude).

Out of the blue, my much-used PZ-1 has started making
an ugly grinding noise when the film winds after an
exposure. Actually, it makes the noise whether there
is film in the camera or not. It sounds as though it
is coming from behind and a bit below the shutter
release. Rewind sounds normal.

Hey, Dave,
Turns out I ~don't~ have kids this weekend. Wassup with you? Is it worth
getting a hold of the Prodigal Pentaxians of the GTA for a get together? We
both have some mighty fine new Pentax Gear to show off!
Congrats on your new stuff, BTW.
cheers,

Thanks Francis.
I probably will make this the go to camera aswell and back up with the K1000 and SP500.
Those are nice shots with the 28-105 PZ.Is that the 3.2 lens or the 4.5 one(i think
those
are the f stops)
I have the smc f 35-70 macro and a Sigma 100-300,but was thinking of adding the 28-105.
Congratulations Dave and also to Frank for his LX
enablement. I also purchased a PZ-1P from a friend
and am very happy with it. It will take me a while to
get familiar with the camera but from the initial
shots I think this will be my go-to camera from now
on. Anybody interested in a ZX-5n? Bou
I'm glad you're happy with it Dave. I knew you would be. The PZ1 and (p) are
very underated cameras that deserve more attention from anyone looking for
autofocus. It's a great camera, especially if you get used to its interface...
Good stuff Dave

Hi all,
perhaps someone else has had this problem:
My onboard flash won't work with certain lenses. Mainly, my off brand
autofocus lenses like a sigma 18-35, and a tamron 28-300, both recent
versions of the lens.
It is not reserved exclusively for non pentax lenses either. My pentax

I second this: shoot slides!
Minilab prints make a very poor guide for improvement any of these aspects.
If you must shoot negatives -- scan them with a slide scanner. Otherwise do
slides. They

ah yes indeed :) Looks like i have been shooting slides for too long now :)

Nitin,
It depends on whether you have positive or negative film. If you
underexposed negative film, the darks/blacks will go gray and the
picture will seem a bit washed out looking. Just the opposite of
shooting slide. So the rule of thumb is slightly underexpose slides,
slightly overexpose ne

Isn't that over-exposure instead of under ? (when blacks look gray that
is).

An indication that your pictures are underexposed is when your blacks look dark gray,
instead of rich black. Sometimes it's a good idea to set your meter a little lower
(125 or 160 for 200 film, for example) to ensure sufficient exposure. You also might
want to check your meter against the on

Hi again,
I joined the list almost 2 months ago with questions regarding my
inabilities to take good pictures with my PZ-1 and FA28-200 combo.
I have remained a silent member since then reading as many posts
as I can given the lack of time.
I realized some of my faults. Thanks to all those who

Gaurav, I have some suggestions for you.
1.) Shoot slide film and use the camera in manual mode to teach yourself
how to expose correctly. It sounds as if you might need a refresher course.
2.) Practice proper technique. Perhaps your hands are too shaky. Relax as
you take the shot. Invest in a

difference but nothing major :-(
What could I be doing wrong? Is the metering mode on my PZ-1 set
incorrectly?? I do not have its manual
be much better. The results are hardly any good
compared to 28-200. I mostly shoot Kodak or Fuji films of speed 100

Hi Juan
I just had mine repaired (impact damage) for more than that! Now I'm considering
buying a Z1-p or a MZ-S as suplementary body!

Don't be surprised. That's how they make money.

My beloved PZ-1 was insulted today when I was offered $75 for it in my local
camera shop, Keepit&Shoveit in Palo Alto.
So, I decided to put in on ebay, without reserve and a starting bid of $250,
for the body, FA28-80 and Sigma 75-300, plus a bunch of filters and a case.
