IIRC, it's built on the same chassis as is the MZ-S. The size of it
looks like it's exactly as big as an MZ-S with the vertical grip
on. I suppose the "grip" part is fully integrated into the chassis,
though.
Ah, the MZ-S body. It's so sad that I discovered that body as the era
of film cameras became eclipsed. I'd have sold my ancient Nikons five
years earlier if it were available in 1995. I would love a pro-spec
Pentax DSLR built on that body, like the K-1 shown, although I'd
prefer if it were the size of the MZ-S with the battery grip being
optional. Whether it was a 24x36 or 16x24 sensor would not matter,
although to be honest if it met the same image quality performance
and resolution as today's Nikon D200 or D2x with a 16x24mm sensor I'd
prefer it. I like the compactness and speed of the shorter focal
length lenses and find the DA14/2.8 provides as much field of view as
I use.
I wait patiently for the high-end *ist D follow-on in the Fall. ;-)
