In my opinion, your best bet in the istd if you want to duplicate the
quality of the MZs. It is not up to MZ-S standards but it's not too
far behind. I have both and find the build quality comparable...
I forgot: the interface is also different; on the -S you set the
aperture from the lens, on the -D (all of them) this is only possible
in Manual mode (which reverts to HyperManual).
This is rather misleading. You set the aperture on the camera body,
unless the lens is a K or M lens, in which case you set it on the lens,
with the body set to manual mode. There have been endless fruitless
discussions on the merits of setting the aperture on the body versus
setting it on the lens, but even the die-hards get used quite quickly
to doing it on the body. The only people for whom this is an still
issue is people who are still using film, and have no idea what they
are missing.
My description was very accurate; find a hole.
Your description is a sieve.
What you wrote is inaccurate.
You're either a comedian or a politician in the mould of Blair. See below.
On the -Digis you can set the aperture on the lens provided
it has a ring (so this is not limited to M/Ks).
No, Kostas, you can't. When off the A setting, the camera will take the
picture at full aperture, whatever you set the lens at (except in Manual
mode).
Now, read that again, and write it out fifty times.
I own and use
exclusively anymore two film cameras where you can set the aperture on
the body; the MZ-50 in particular is *very* cumbersome from the lens,
but I actually like its interface. I thus did not make an argument as to
better, I said different.
I suggest you confine yourself to responding to questions you know
something about. Limiting, I know, but better for your credibility in the
long run.
