It was ZX-5n (MZ-5n in Europe) that brought me to Pentax, - thanks to its ergonomic design - with the aperture ring and shutter speed knob that could be controlled while blindfolded. (no wheel crap that Nikons had).
Interestingly, I had ~90% success rate of shooting "from the hip" with ZX-5n, <5% with *ist DS, and ~60-70% with K-7. While I am used to the wheels now, I think I would still prefer the knobs.

For some reason I've just never really gelled with the Pentax 35mm film camera's (the LX came the closest, followed by the PZ-1p). The funny thing is that the K-7 is one camera I love the ergonomics on. IMHO it's FAR better than any of the Pentax 35mm film cameras (in fact it handles very similarly to the Maxxum 7, which it also distinctly resembles). -Adam -- 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.
