The ZX-7 will let you set both aperture and shutter speed from the body

Subject: Re: Least expensive Pentax Body with aperture setting for A lenses?
Quoting "J. C. O'Connell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
I am curious, what is the least expensive ( new or used, past or present) Pentax 35mm SLR film body that allows you to set absolute f-stops of "A" lenses ***on the body***. I don't mean program modes, I mean manual setting of the fstop ( like F8 for example) with the body ( while the lens is set to "A")???? If its not too big maybe a complete list of all the Pentax bodies that can do this?
I have no idea about what's the least expensive body, but aside from the
obviously high-end PZ-1, I know that on the ZX-10 the user can set aperture
from the body in the way you describe as well as having the option of using
the aperture ring.
I'm *guessing* that the "cheapie" ones that don't allow you to set the
aperture on the lens -- ZX-50, -30 and I think there was another one, maybe -
60? -- have metered manual modes in which you would be setting the aperture
from the body.
