I don't know about a manual, but you can try www.mz-s.com for an overview (the Pentax Functions are described there, but I'm sure I've seen somewhere a brochure on line where the PF were listed in a better way). > Some more questions: > > 1) When using manual focus A, K and M lenses I can't select other focusing > points than central - is that normal? I can't help you about this.

The same happens with the other Pentax AF cameras. I tried once with my Mir 20/3.5 mounted on the Z-50p to use a piece of aluminium foil between the lens and the contacts on the body, and the focus confirmation worked (sometimes even without aluminium) but I never tried after that attempt. > 3) When using manual focus A, K and M lenses there is some sort of focusing > "latitude" - when rotating focusing ring, focus confirmation LED "signal" > IMO stays on longer that it should. > (...) > Is this normal? Quite normal.

Well, I'll jump into it! The 85/1.5 intrigues me. I bid on one on ebay but was outbid for a couple of bucks. How is its optical performance?
