No - the MZ-S was supposed to be the top-of-the-MZ-line Pentax film body. I presume you're thinking of the first planned Pentax digital camera (often referred to as the MZ-D), which would have shared much of the ergonomics and appearance of the MZ-S. But suggesting that this was driving the design, and the MZ-S was just a film-based offshoot, is questionable at best. I always loved the feel of the MZS with the grip. Sadly, I finally sold mine to buy the K-7. If an MZ-S with grip can fetch anything close to $1000, I may well be selling mine to get a K-5. I've still got a PZ-1p (and a couple of MXs) should I ever feel the urge to shoot film again. I prefer the control style of the PZ bodies (which matches the digital bodies, too) to that of the MZ bodies. -- 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.
