That wallet sized card is totally cool Bob. I'm going to print it and have it laminated. Now if I only had this for the PZ-1p too. I have both the PZ-1 and the PZ-1p and love them. I should probably be selling them while they are still worth a couple of dollars, but it doesn't look like it's gonna happen...fondle, fondle...lol. The only con I have for this camera is I need a cheat sheet for the custom functions since I use too many other cameras as well.
About the PC connection. The person I bought my PZ-1p from was a pro that had switched to digital and provided a hotshoe adapter made by pentax for this purpose. He claimed they worked fine for him. My next question though would be in regard to voltage and polarity here. Some pro lighting is pretty high voltage for electronic cameras. I'm not sure what the Pentax units are really rated to handle on the hotshoe. I know the previous owner never actually used the camera I have for this, or so he claimed it was a warranty replacement he received from Pentax that only had one roll of film run through it to make sure it worked. > > You might find this copy of the PZ function card useful. > (Wallet Sized, two sided) > http://members.aol.com/rfsindg/PZ-1a.jpg > http://members.aol.com/rfsindg/PZ-1b.jpg > > Regards, Bob S. > > > On Tue, 18 Jan 2005 10:42:21 +1100, Trevor Bailey > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > G'day All. > > > > I have just acquired a used Pentax Z-1. > > > > I am looking for comments from people that have used this model as to > > the pro's & con's of it. > > > > Is there a battery grip for the Z-1 ? > > > > Also, comments please on how it compares to the ZX-L and to the SFXn. > > > > The lenses to be used are the run of the mill Pentax A 50 f:2, F 35-135, > > F 70-200, F 35-105.
