I had that very combination in my hands on Wednesday at my local Camera

Ok, steering off-topic a bit. We all say it's a given that PnS 35mm sales
are big with Pentax. Yes? Why don't I see them around? I don't see them
in stores, I don't see them in hands, I just don't see them. How can they
be big? Big in comparison to what? Big like Canon, or big as in we sold
Retail distribution channels account for some of the differences. I'll bet
you're not looking in the big box retailers like Walmart, Target, and Kmart
for your 35mm PS gear. The real secret for Pentax or any manufacturer is to
get the price/ quality/ features about right and then impress the

Actually I have seen ad of MZ-S with FA 24-90 (the one with half

Well the picture in advertisment is divided in two halves - left is a body
of strong men (1/2 head and left arm as I remember) right half is body of
MZ-S (1/2 to be exact).
Either that's just as dumb looking as it sounds or you had to see the original.
