I too am a little disappointed that the manual focus has to rely on the beep (or I do). There is not enough indication in the viewfinder to *really* tell when things are in focus manually. But that is about my only disappointment. I've been extremely impressed with how accurate the light meter is. I had to do a fair amount of compensation with the K-1000 (by hit and miss manually). The ZX-5n has an exposure compensation dial built-in. So far I haven't had to use it. (Though probably one of these days I should learn *how* to use it.) Doe aka Marnie ;-)
