Hi,
There is an other difference (appart from what others
already said) when using an M lens with a ZX-M.
According to Boz's site, if you use a M lens with the
ZX-M body the metering system will be center-weighted.
If you use an A or newer lens, the metering system
will be muti-segment (2 segments in the case of the
ZX-M).
I haven't used my ZX-M with an M lens so I can't tell
you if there is a big difference between this two
systems. However, sometimes I wish I could switch my
camera to center-weighted (there is no way as you
know), because this is closer to spot meter and,
therefore, you have more control on what you are
metering.
Regards,
Jaume
