About 30 years ago, I enjoyed using a Pentax Spotmatic with two prime
lenses, but later sold everything several years ago.
I'm now considering the Pentax ZX-5n and Nikon N65, and would appreciate
some feedback.
On paper, although the N65 is newer, both cameras seem to have similar
specs. Pros and cons: the ZX-5n has a spot meter and the auto-exposure
system can work with manual lenses, whereas the N65 exposure (which requires
auto-focus lense) seems better (in that it considers distance info when
using Nikon D and G AF lenses). Also the N65 flash is brighter (GN 39 vs
11), and the N65 body fits my hand somewhat better.
As for lenses, I'm considering at least one prime (e.g., 50mm, near 1.8) and
a non-power AF zoom, e.g., 28-105mm (or the upcoming 24-90mm Pentax zoom).
All comments will be appreciated. I'm particularly interested in issues
that go beyond the specs (like reliability, ease of use, etc.).
