Re: Well I did it, a PZ-1p

[Mark Cassino]

Good luck with getting it up and running - with my Mz-S in the shop I have 
used my Pz-1p for some slides lately, and it is a joy to work with. It will 
never happen but if Pentax had just upgraded the AF and metering (the 8 
segment metering in the Pz-1p was good, but not as good as the 6 segment 
metering that replaced it) they would of had a killer camera on their hands. 
The Mz-S is nice - but a bit of a niche machine as the design ethic is 
unique unto itself and specs are good, but limited in some regards.

We'll see how good I am at fixing Z series.
The good part is the SMCP-F 70-210/4-5.6 that comes with it.
These have been eekBaying lately for about what I paid for the whole rig.
Guy seems honest enough judging by the e-mails we've exchanged.
We'll see.

PS: If ayone's interested in the 70-210 drop me a line.
I'll let you know when I recieve it and check it out.
I already have one.
