Subject: PZ-1P & Pentax "M" Lenses ?
> Hello. I have a couple of questions regarding the use of Pentax "M" lenses with my
>PZ-1P:
>
> 1) Can you set the aperture of M lenses with the camera, or do you have to use the
>aperture ring on the lens?
No, you have to use the aperture ring, and the M series lenses will only function in
aperture priority or manual exposure modes as well.
>
> 2) Does the spot metering mode work well with M lenses?
Yes, spot metering and center weighted should work with the M series lenses...the
multi segment metering should work as well. My PZ-1p manual states that for lenses
made earlier than the M series (without information contacts), only the center
weighted and spot metering will function. So, based on that, the M series should work
in all metering modes.
