I agree that the 6 segment on the MZ-S is better for slide film.��My Z1p overexposes with slide�film.�
More segments doesn't always mean better. � � >From: P�l Jensen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: Re: PZ-1p (8-segment) vs. MZ-S (6-segment) multi-pattern metering >Date: Wed, 21 Aug 2002 14:45:58 +0200 > >Robert wrote: > > > 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)?

I haven't directly compared the Z-1p meter with the MZ-S. However, my impression is that if you're using slide film the MZ-S meter is better. The Z-1p meter seem slight more tuned towards overexposure whereas the MZ-S and 645N meters almost never overexposes. > >P�l >- >This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
