Hi allThe last year they were made was 2000 but there were some left in the stores into 2001. I know B&H was selling them until around the middle of 2001.
I just picked up a PZ-1p on ebay and wondered what range of dates was this camera originally retailed by Pentax. This one is supposed to be never used except one roll to make sure it worked....so it should be like new. But wondering how long it's likely been sitting around. Also wondering about High Speed flash...does this camera support that, and if so which flash unit would everyone recommend for this camera. I know it syncs at 250, but unsure about HS support. Actually I don't know if Pentaxes do that.
As far as the HS flash, no the PZ-1p does not support that if I'm understanding what you're asking.
The best flash to get for this body would be the AF-500FTZ. You'll NEVER regret it. Of course, if you plan on buying an MZ-S or the newer *ist film or digital, then I would suggest getting the AF-360-FGZ
