Re the cost, is there some built-in tax or other DIS-advantage to buying that camera in OZ, vs. the U.S.?
Other than currency exchange numbers?
What _would_ the MZ-6 cost in OZ?

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. Regards, Trevor Grafton OZ

Subject: Re: Purchasing a second body
I'm going to leave a little more of the previous messages than I usually
do, for continuity. 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?
Thanks, keith whaley

G'day All. I picked up an as new ZX-L from KEH.com for a very good price.
The only gripe was that they shipped it UPS. Bloody shipping, customs duty,& GST cost more that the ZX-L.
I will never have anything shipped to Australia via UPS again. The next time I buy from keh.com, I will ask if they can ship via USPS.
The ZX-L is fantastic. It leaves the MZ-7 for dead. Anybody want to buy a MZ-7 ? :-)
Hooroo. Regards, Trevor Grafton, OZ

Find a ZX/MZ-L It suits your need very nicely...
I'd second that. For example if you have FG battery grip it will fit
MZ-6 (ZX-L, MZ-L - same camera, different names). Other than that, this is the last modern Pentax that is compatible with all lenses and seems to have most of flash automation bells and whistles... It is cheap too... I have one, so that if you need to know more, feel free to ask, including off-list.
HTH.
