The other stuff having to do with handling is a personal thing. It *is*
different from what you're used to, but maybe you can get used to it.
Maybe not...after all, maybe 30 years of your K1000 and Spotmatics has
got you in a groove.
I'm not sure why the camera would be at fault for your grainy skies. Do
they have an odd color (brownish or puky)? They may be underexposed,
which I guess you could blame on the camera's meter, but again, it's
probably consistent and maybe you could get used to it.
It might be the film.
Maybe a ZX-5n might be more to your liking, it's got a more conventional
layout.
Good luck.
