I don't know why or when but Pentax gave up this useful selling point a while back. It was originally advertised as a way of changing lenses easily without looking or in the dark - just line up the pimple with the lens release lever and twist.
Now they give you a pointless red light on the body (MZ-S) which doesn't line up with anything you can see in the dark, and the new bodies' lens release lever doesn't even line up with the old pimple. It can't have cost that much to retain such a brilliantly simple idea.
I forgot to mention that in my ideal film camera description.
I find it baffling that they made such an insignificant change to the lens lock, just to screw things up so totally.
