Have they really removed it, or just used the KAF mount instead of 
KAF2? As far as I can tell, KAF2 has been used only for relative 
higher-end cameras; KAF ones have always been produced along with 
them. For instance, while the MZ-5n/MZ-3 and MZ-S have KAF2 mounts, 
the MZ-6 and "below" have KAF.

Umm, as far as I'm aware, the lower-end MZ's use a KAF2 mount without 
Power Zoom contacts. There's also a new data exchange protocol 
involved in the new mount. 

I'm just referring to Bojidar's page, here. See 
http://www.bdimitrov.de/kmp/bodies/MZ-ZX/index.html

*ist D is definitely a KAF2 based mount, as it does the MTF program 
Line, which requires the KAF2 data protocol.


OK...
