Hello, Frank. I have tried to compare the Z-1 and the LX for accuracy in low light conditions. The meter in Z-1 is the same as in Z-1p, I think. It's an unfair comparison since the the LX meter works off the film and is centerweight whereas the Z-1 is off the mirror and multi-field. But I was only interested in the result for practical purposes.
My result was that within the guaranteed metering range of the Z-1, the Z-1 multifield is usually as good as the LX centerweight. Sometimes it's better. Most noticeably with bright surfaces (snow in my test, but sunny ripples on water too i guess...). When the light is below the metering range for Z-1, the LX just goes on and on. Just love that camera...:-) Best, Jostein ----- Original Message ----- From: "Frank Knapik" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, July 09, 2002 9:27 PM Subject: PZ-1P Low Light Capability > Hello. I know the LX reigns supreme with regards to low light shooting, but does anyone have any actual experience using the PZ-1P under low light conditions? If so, please share your observation/opinion.
