Also, Pentax has a distinct tendency to not use marketing buzzwords. For instance, it has several lenses that are, by other manufacturer's standards, apochromatic or aspherical, yet it doesn't market them as such. Another example: Nikon made a great big deal out of its "D" lenses that took focus distance in consideration in setting flash output. I believe all Pentax FA lenses do this, but Pentax doesn't hype that fact. Overall I think Pentax is very conservative in the claims it makes. It may be possible that the MZ-S could deserve the term "water resistant" from other manufacturers, but it's typical of Pentax that they don't make a big deal of it. --Mike - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
