Whilst waiting for the release of the forthcoming * ist D I am looking for advice regarding a camera body for use with FA lenses. The body will be purchased second-hand to be used as a back-up to the * * ist D, so far after reading advice about camera bodies on "Bojidar Dimitrov's Pentax K-Mount Page" page I am tending to favour the MX and MZ5n models. Any other recommendations?
I think if you will use AF most of the time, choose MZ-5n or even MZ-L/MZ-6/ZX-6. MX is a fine camera if you want manual focus. However, many parts are gone for the MX and you might need to pay the service bill for a 2ndhand body. Something to think about if you just want a backup.
regards, Alan Chan
