The only problem with the MZ-S is that it came 10 yeras to late. It would
have been a huge success if they made it at the same time as the PZ-1p. The
good thing about it is that it came so late: Now it's posible to get a

John,
The size issue has been interesting. The big lenses go on the PZ1 or
PZ1-p with grip strap attached. But I have new joy using my smaller
autofocus primes. The MZ-S and limited lenses are a sweet
combination... and didn't feel this way on the PZ-1p.

When the MZ-S came out -- and when I was able to check one out in the store
(there was a significant interval between these) I concluded, based on
comparing specs and then on comparing the cameras, that for me the MZ-s could
not replace the PZ-1. I thought at the time that the only way I'd ever
Again, stuck on the back of the Pentax glass, anything looks odd;
the 80-200/2.8 doesn't match either the PZ-1p or the MZ-S, and
niether do any of the other FA* lenses.
The A*200/2.8 looks quite nice on either body, though.

I believe Pentax actually claim 4.3fps for the PZ-1p; (Boz shows 4)
Good point about the flash compensation, though; I missed that one.

Thibouille,
My history with Pentax is like your's including extensive shooting
with the ME, Super-A with and without MotorA, and the Z1...at least
until I joined this list and became enabled. ;-) Since then, my most
used camera is the LX followed by the Z1p.
I recently took a chance on an ebay a

Youre right where I was a year ago. Although you might say I was even more
Well, European prices, especially Danish (taxes and all) is something
special. I sold mine (incl. BG-10 grip) for 700 USD, which was considerably
less than I paid 6 months earlier (1000 USD). If you can get one for 500-600
USD I would consider it a good price - in like new condition.

Shop price in the UK for a Mint/Mint- one is around 400GBP. Ebay price
is more or less the same in my experience.
