When I first got one on my MZ-S I just thought of it as a fairly obvious modern-day equivalent of the little cut-out windows on some older bodies (often used for things like film rating; sometimes for shutter speed). There's no reason why the LCD display needs to be separate from the dial when there's only one dial; on the PZ-1p, of course, the single display serves two thumbwheels. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
