you can see the 28-90 and the DOF button in the same spot as the MZ-5n/MZ-M has it. As for this camera cutting into the MZ-5n/3 area, maybe but after using the MZ-3 and PZ-20 I'd say Photographers with older manual SLR's will still perfer the MZ-3 layout. --- Artur_Led�chowski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Rob Brigham <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: RE: MZ6 > > > > Looks like an MZ-7 with DOF preview.
