The next question is: What do you think? Was the move worth the price? I ask because I am a PZ-1p owner and am considering the MZ-S. Len >> I moved from Canon/Nikon/Minolta/Contax and the PZ-1p to the MZ-S. Is it worth it. I thought it was to the tune of 2 BLACK bodies and one overpriced (list) SILVER body from Japan. I first moved over to the Pentax systen, from the big three and Contax G2. I started with a ZX-5n and a PZ-1p. Fell in love with the limited 43/1.9. Now have all three. Even had the grip for the PZ-1p. I liked everything about the PZ-1p except that #%$@ focusing. Slow and hunted like a hound dog. The ZX-5n was a piece of heaven except I wanted a tougher ZX-5n/PZ-1p combo. Wrote to Pentax 3 years ago outlining a combo camera. Left Pentax to go back to Canon then Monolta with the Max 7. When the MZ-S came out it was a perfect match for my combo camera. Rebought the 43/1.9 added the 77 and later the 31 (limiteds). Uswe Tamron's 24-135 SP as standard lens, on a black MZ-S. Use limiteds with 24/2 on my Silver MZ-S. Best kept secret lens, the 17-28 fisheye zoom. Mine is one supersharp honey. Use a black MZ-S with Sigma's 20/1.8, 15-30mm and 24-70/2.8, EXs all. Have Pentax 80-320 and Tamron 90/2.8 Macro SP as special lense. Use 2 ZX-5ns as backup. New Pentax flash is best ever used. Best thing about all bodies. Use AA lithium batteries in all grips on all bodies. Burt NYC USA - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
