G'day Pål,
You probably don't know me, I'm a relatively recent subscriber.
The only reference I've seen to this camera was hidden in the "Nikon to

I thought it wouldn't meter with K and M lenses (like the first firmware

I am very confused myself with this thread, but I think that by M they
mean M42.

Now I wish I had kept the source of my mis-information. I have no idea
who it was.
Oh well. That's disconcerting, because if it had been true, it would
have exposed something about the M bayo lens of which I was unaware, and

If there's enough interest, I could knock up a K-to-EOS-to-M adapter.

Okay, you picky ol' pedant. What did I do? Get the letter order

How about an M to K adapter?
And it would do what?

Want a future collectible? Buy an *ist (not the digital).
It'll go down in history as the last 35mm film SLR from Pentax.

Unlikely for the IS lenses. I'll bet that Pentax will go with the in-camera
stabilization by moving the sensor like Minolta-Konica. This is a much easier
approach compared with replacing the entire lens line. I now this does nothing for
film, but Pentax just can' afford to invest much in film

Well, at least Pentax apparently plans to continue the MZ-s in one form or another for
awhile longer. Why else bother with upgrading the battery grip? I too think it is the
last higher end Pentax f

What I would most like to see on it is some form of aperture control
from the body. In these uncertain times, the lack of that would stop me
and many others from buying any new SLR. I know a fair number of people
who have wanted an MZ-S but on weighing thin
alone!

Nice try Andy, but there is one problem. Like all other Pentax AF cameras,
the back was designed to be thick plastic. I don't see how they could turn
it into a metal back (also the seal) w/o significant modification to the
body itself. Certainly not typical Pentax way. :-)
