And, for me, a reason for not getting quickly accustomed to such
two-wheels interface after years and years of lens aperture ring
operation.
For such a reason (among others) ten years ago I sold my Z1 (purchased
one month before) and bought a MZ-5, and then a MZ-S, but that's
another story.

top-range camera. And , please, please, the aperture wheel must be
on the

(shutter side).
Amen. Having used the Z-1p, I am also perplexed as to why they put the
aperture at the back.
