Hi Christien: Manual focus lenses work fine with the MZ-S. You get focus confirmation in the viewfinder and also trap focus, which only works with manual focus lenses. As for the metering, you can use centre weighted and spot metering with non-A series lenses, and with A series optics, you also get multi segment metering. The only possible gripes with a very small number of independent K mount lenses in an MZ-S and other AF bodies is that they could get jammed in the body mount, this can happen with some lenses which have the contact required for program mode in some Ricoh bodies, and also with a very small number of other independent lenses, but for a different reason. Some members of this list have experienced this problem and can tellyou which specific lenses to avoid.
