I believe the MZ-50 does have compatibility problems with a particular range of
Pentax lenses (not sure which), and being a replacement for the MZ-50 the
MZ-30 must have the same incompatibility problem. If this is correct then
Pentax have two bodies that are not 100% compatible, therefore their lens range
is only usable on a range of Pentax bodies.
