Yes, pZ-1p has the film leader control which is handy.
On MZ-3,5, when I wanted to mid-roll rewind but did not want the film
completely wound back into the canister (as I do not want to fiddle with the
film leader puller, which BTW is an ingenious little tool), I learned to
open the back at certain timing when I see the frame# 1.  Opening the back
will automatically stop rewinding.  You have to know the timing but I always
got more or less the right amount of leader without ruining the frame #1.
You can probably practice a bit by loading a cull film.

Cheers,

Ken
