The hindrance to DOF preview is presumably due to the fact that it is a
mechanical DOF. In MZ-S it is electronic and so would not suffer the
problem Cassino mentions.
I really dont understand why there was not an extra PF for this, but I
suppose I will get used to it.

This seems to be my sticking point about the MZ-S. I like being able to
set
the aperture via the body on my ZX-7. It seems really strange that
Pentax
would leave this feature off the MZ-S. All the mechanics are there, they
just need to program this ability into the firmware. Could we have this
feature added to the next update of the MZ-S?
