G'day Keith. Mate, In Australia the camera sold here is the MZ-6. The MZ-6 is also sold in europe and Canada as the MZ-6. However, They are scarce as hens teeth second hand & too expensive to buy new. I bought the U.S. ZX-L which is the exact same camera, Just a different model name on it.
Hooroo.

I'm a little confused here. Has to do with camera body nomenclature. I had made a notation that what Pentax markets in the U.S. as a ZX-L is called the MZ-6 in Europe. Yes? No? I think the unknown poster might have been wrong, and I'm trying to get it straight. I suspect it's really the MZ-L instead. Last, does Australia follow Europe's Pentax designations?
