I stopped by my local camera shop this morning and found a PZ-1, with SMC-F 50/1.7 for $250. I offered $200 and got it. The camera has some slight nicks and scratches, but looks good overall, the LCD seems fine, and the lens looks excellent. It came with batteries and original boxes, but no manual ... from what I could figure out, functions seem operational, including the built-in flash, metering options, etc., but of course I'll have to give it a real tryout within the 30-day warranty period. Any quick tips? I'll obviously have to order a manual from Pentax, since this camera certainly isn't intuitive to a pre-Spotmatic/Spotmatic/ME Super/Super Program user. Does anyone have a scanned copy of the manual, or is there any available online? It's one of the models that Pentax doesn't have a download for on its manuals site. I assume this was a good deal -- any problems in particular I should look for?
