I agree wholeheartedly. I think when a few very vocal members of the PDML begin to discredit a lens or camera everyone starts to believe it as fact. The SMC 85mm F2 is a good example. An excellent lens that, in some test cases, proves sharper than the faster Pentax 85s yet can't get no respect on the list.... But I digress.... I have a pile of LXs and a PZ1. There are things about the PZ1 I would like to change, but I must admit that whenever I use it the results are excellent. I find it perfect for the times I either don't want to think about exposures etc., or do not have the time. It's a great camera. In fact, there is one right now sitting at a camera store nearby with a 28-105mm on it selling for just over $400 Cdn. I think I paid that for the lens alone. Anyway, enjoy... Vic

Most of the reviews are favorable. It is highly regarded to be so "old". In practice, I find the AF to be dead on accurate, fast, etc. I think the reason you hear so much negative about it on the group is that some of the more vocal members(not to be taken as an insult) don't care for its overall-user interface, AF speed, one AF point, etc. I disagree. In use, I find it a pleasure. The performance you seem to get from yours is remarkable considering you are using "slow lenses". A testament to its AF abilities. I bet the camera would really shine with an 80-200 f2.8(maybe a Tokina if you can't get the Pentax). Robert >>
