Boing!
I thought I was "out" on this one, being as all my Pentax gear
is pre-AF (SuperProgram the newest and currently the "workhorse"
when "creature comforts photographic" are valid) --- but !
... I just remembered the Zoom90WR :^)
Though not very often, and generally in random action situations,
I *do* use this little gem on occassions when AF or "smart flash"
is useful. I have found Kodak E100 slides, as well as print film
to yield very acceptable results and don't hesitate to use it in
conjunction w/ my Pentax SLR rigs. I do prefer its auto-exposure
more w/ E-6 than w/ C-41 - I like the ability to overexpose C-41
about 1/3rd stop w/ more controlable cameras. The optics are really
quite good, and better than f8 at 90mm range. I will generally set
it on spot-AF, using it for close-ins at the long end and playing
the "focus & recompose" game. I wish I could figure out the interval
timer set-up :-)

>> aside: if not for some long-ago PDML threads, I wouldn't have
known enough to snag it up for US$115 at a 2nd hand shop! !8^D
