Very very different situation today. Pentax SLR sales today are around 1/10 those of Canon/Nikon. I think that Pentax did their very best for getting rid of they reputation as a highly respectable camera manufacturer. > I seem to be missing some minor updates - like MZ-S being the first 35mm > SLR, that featuring copying of exposeure data on to the film (isn't it?). No, it wasn't. The Contax RTSIII was the first SLR to imprint exposure data on film. The Contax does not write data between film perforation like the MZ-S, it writes them in the space among the frames. Another Contax model saves the data in memory and then impresses them on a single blank frame at time of rewinding film. Dario Bonazza
