Its been awhile since these discussions, but I am pretty postiive that DOF preview is in a Custom Function of the -6/L. > Other than that, I cannot understand why the MZ-5n is so much > more expensive than the MZ-6.

There's not another reasonably priced (cause for all I know Contax makes one) camera with the classic layout and autofocus. Everything on the -5n is in the right spot, and its easy to take in everything in by glancing at the camera's front or top. The -6/L is more like your -50. Its got a more modern layout. I played with a friend's -6 once, and its a pretty neat camera. My favourite feature is teh way the display changes colour when you go to a slower shutter speed. Then, I'm easily amused by gadgets. However, when I wanted to replace my own -50 a couple years back, I bought the -5n. -- http://www.infotainment.org <-> more fun than a poke in your eye. http://www.eighteenpercent.com <-> photography and portfolio.
