The MZ-5 is calibrated for negative film. Z-1 and MZ-s are calibrated for slides. > 2.

Some cameras, though, can read the exposure latitude info present in the DX film canisters, and use it. The first camera to do this was the Z-1 back in 1992, and the MZ-S also reads the exposure latitude information. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Carlos Royo [EMAIL PROTECTED] Zaragoza (Aragon) - Spain ------------------------------------------------------------------
