My opinion FWIW.
Aperture selection is a lens function, so I expect to find its user
interface on the lens. Shutter speed selection is a camera body function
(in the case of a focal plane shutter), so I expect to find its user
interface on the camera body. In the same manner I expect to find

Hyper manual should have been a feature on the MZ-S, in my opinion.
In my opinion my MZ-S has hype manual mode. In fact its more hyper manual than the
Z-1p ever was. Its impossible to have manual and automatic modes simultaneously
available on the Z-1p; you have to scroll

There is a reason why the Z-1p has a significantly thicker manual than the

Artur,
I'm quite surprised that you feel that aperture control on the lens is
a step backward. I used PZ-1p's for quite a while and used to own 2
of them. I am not faulting the cameras at all, as I rather liked
them. But in using the MZ-S's I
What happened to make film transport speed so important? Didn't sports
photogs learn how to use their equipment and get great shots in the days
before high speed motordrives? When I was shooting for our college yearbook
back in 1962-63, I used a rangefinder 35 and a Speed Graphic, and with a
