Hmmm - so was that what is was about. I thought only caeras for lenses with A-settings was sought after. I guess the PZ series was earlier than the MZ-series. So it must be PZ-10 or PZ-20 you are looking for. OR PZ-1, of course, which BTW is a great camera. I used it for 12 years with brillinat results (if I may say so).

Can't speak to the rest of the series but to set the aperture on the P30t it was necessary to turn the aperture ring off A and to the desired value. I can't think of any way for the user to set the aperture from that body. ERNR
