Just out of interest, why did Pentax switch from an eight-segment multi-pattern metering system (PZ-1p) to a six-segment system (MZ-S)? Does anyone have any insight? I'm not implying that the MZ-S meter is worse - I don't believe in sheer numbers (the nine segment Minolta meters seem to test consistently better than the EOSIVs); I just wonder why they'd take an APPARENT step back. Was there any problem with the PZ-1p's system? Or was the six-segment an economy (because of sharing with other ZX cameras)? I've had excellent results from the 1p multi-pattern metering and scrunched my nose a little to see it gone in the MZ-S (which, as I said before, may be just as good or better).
