Why not use the manual lenses on an AF body? It's not against the rules and you still get focus confirmation (I believe). Why do you need some sort of AF adapter? You certainly don't need to purchase AF versions of the lenses you currently have That's the wonderful thing about the PK mount! The analog TTL flashes (like the AF-080-c, AF280T) will work with the newer TTL systems like those on the PZ-1p, MZS and ZX-5n (MZ-5n to you). By the way, I'm not familiar with the MX-S. Are you refering to the MZ5n or MZ-S? HTH Christian Skofteland
