PZ-1p to the rescue
My mom had a little Canon point 'n shoot camera with a half exposed roll of film; Canon Sure-Shot Supreme. The battery was dead. You can't take the film out without a battery in the camera. The camera takes a 2CR5 battery the battery was dead. I thought I had a spare 2CR5 around here somewhere, but I couldn't find it. Then I remembered the reason I had a spare 2CR5 was because that's what the PZ-1p takes. Borrowed the battery from my spare body popped it into the Sure-Shot voila' ... I was able to rewind the film get it out of the camera. I'll take it in to be processed tomorrow. -- Science - Questions we may never find answers for.

Re: DOF Preview on PZ-1p with an 'A' lens??

DOF Preview on PZ-1p with an 'A' lens??
I'm shooting a school assignment with the PZ-1p, a SMCPA 24mm f/2.8 lens. http://www.bdimitrov.de/kmp/lenses/primes/ultra-wide/A24f2.8.html I have to take three photos up close personal of 36 persons who I don't know (not friends, not family, not fellow students ... strangers). The assignment specifies FILM and off camera flash using a Vivitar 285HV set to yellow (shoe mounted radio trigger radio slave hotshoe). The instructor states the Vivitar 285HV automatic exposure on yellow will provide proper illumination for f/4. The lens is at 'A', with the camera in hyper-manual mode with the aperture set at f/4. Ambient light metered with a Sekonic L-408 the shutter speed set 1 stop faster than metered, i.e. meter reads f/4 @ 1/30 sec, the shutter is set to 1/60 sec. On the third roll of film (after 22nd subject), I used the DOF preview button on the PZ-1p to see how much DOF I was getting. To my surprise, when I pressed the DOF preview the lens stops all the way down to f/22. Do you think the camera has been stopping down to f/22 during taking, or is this an anomaly affecting only the DOF preview. The earliest I can get the film processed is Monday. Is that a problem with the lens, with the camera, or with the combination of lens and camera? And whoever was offering the PZ-1p a couple days ago, please email me off list. Looks like I may be in the market. I might could use my LX or K-1000, but I need the 1/250 sync speed. In the meantime I've set the lens manually to f/4 and setting the shutter speed using hyper-manual. I will shoot additional subjects to back stop myself in case the first rolls turn out unusable. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
Re: DOF Preview on PZ-1p with an 'A' lens??
John, Depth of field with the lens set on A will go to f22 (or whatever is the max). I don't remember it ever going to f4, even though the camera was set that way electronically. That DOF preview is purely mechanical. You have to twist the aperture mechanically to f4 to see f4 with DOF preview. Think legacy operation based on where the DOF preview lever is. With the digitals, DOF preview is hooked into the electronics and located by the shutter release. (MZ-S too) Regards, Bob S.

Re: DOF Preview on PZ-1p with an 'A' lens??
John, What Bob said. The other odd thing you might notice is that the aperture set on the lens does not agree with the aperture displayed in the viewfinder. Don't worry. The one set on the lens will prevail, and your exposures will be fine.

Re: DOF Preview on PZ-1p with an 'A' lens??
IIRC DOF preview on the PZ-1p only worked properly with the aperture off
A, the MZ/ZX 3/5n did a proper DOF preview in A mode. I don't know
about any of the others but that's your problem.

Hello, Folks, I recently acquired a used PZ-1p body. I expect to enjoy taking pictures with it for the days to come. It didn't come with an instruction manual, and I can't seem to find one on the web. So far I located a pdf version of the manual for PZ-1. I suppose they are close enough, but there must be some differences. Does anybody know a site where I can get an electronic version of the PZ-1p manual for free?

DS2 VS. PZ-1P Focusing
Hello. How is the focusing speed, accuracy and low light ability of the DS2 compare to the PZ-1P? Thank you. Francis
Re: DS2 VS. PZ-1P Focusing
Hello. How is the focusing speed, accuracy and low light ability of the DS2 compare to the PZ-1P? Thank you. Francis - The D series, of course, have multiple autofocus points, while the 1p has has the single, central sensor. Some people use the multiple points. I use just the central sensor on my D, and practice focus-and-recompose. So for those who shoot like me, the multiple autofocus points are just something to turn off. But as I said, others find them useful. For low-light shooting, one of my biggest disappointments with the D is how poorly it performs compared to my 1p. Outdoors in good light they seem to focus comparably fast. They do work differently, though. In poor (but not low) light, the 1p will hunt until it finds focus. In the same light, the D will pause and think about it for a bit, then find focus without hunting. I am guessing that the D does some processing so it can find focus without hunting. The net effect is that focus lock on both is comparably fast (with the noted exception of low light, when the D has real problems). Joe P.S. I can't really define what I mean by low and poor light. All I can say is that in indoor situations that I have experienced, the D autofocuses poorly (i.e., slowly), if at all. In intermediate light that I have experienced, the 1p might hunt before finding focus, while the D will pause and think, then focus without hunting.
light leakage / reflection / stray light viewfinder from my PZ-1p
pentax list, thanks cotty, been a rather long day here. also been a real long time since i've posted anything here. mike: i've noticed it looks sorta like a reflection of sorts. but i'm not sure. anyways i looked further between my PZ-1p and ZX-L. the PZ-1p appears to have two pieces of foam, for access to the removable focusing screen, whilst the ZX-L has a continuous strip of foam. this foam is probably used to dampen and cushion the reflex mirror when it flips up for an exposure. if you guys don't know what i'm talking about, look at your camera body without a lens, and look for a strip of foam near the bottom of the prism--that's what i'm talking about. if you can't see any foam---looks like you need to get your camera to the shop for service! hehe! so i took the pz-1p outside and and pointed it backward to the sun (hehe i'm daring) and without a lens attached. with bulb mode, i held the shutter and looked to see what kind of light might come thru. sure enough with a strong incident light, some light does come thru the gap between the foam. (man i wish i had a digicam to show you guys what i mean--i'll try to take a pix using my cheapy webcam when i get home). my guess is that the stray light coming from the viewfinder thru the gap between the foam somehow reflects off the rear element of the lens attached and imprints itself onto the film during an exposure. the only lens that i think could do this is the Tokina ATX 28-70mm f/2.6-2.8 that i have---it's rear element is quite large. the other two lenses i have, the Tokina ATX 80-200mm f/2.8 and Tamron SP 24-135mm f/4-5.6 design at the rear of the lens don't really look like it would reflect. furthermore, the leading edge of the mirror (bottom edge) on the ZX-L is painted black, whilst the mirror on the PZ-1p isn't painted at all. at certain angles of the sun, the whole leading edge of the mirror can light up. if you have a coloured plastic transparent clipboard, try looking at the edge--it will seem to be lighted. i think this exacerbates the problem. in case you are wondering, the mirror seems to flip up all the way. so this is where experimentation will come in. i plan to get some cheapy kodak film to shoot tests shots with my three lenses with various angles of the camera viewfinder pointed to a very bright sun. afterwards, i will use some cheap black electrical tap to just cover the gap in the foam on my PZ-1p and retake the same shots. i am hoping that is the problem. a quick run to costco for a develop only 1hr job ought to shed some light on my problem. i'll keep you guys posted. cheers, raphael Quoc Bao Raphael Tran Cityspan Technologies, Inc. email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] hi guys, this is a little frustrating for mebut i have a pentax PZ-1p and i sometimes get random light streaking towards the top half of the exposure. i am guessing that since the image imprinted onto the film is actually flipped, the seems to be a light leak in the bottom of my camera. here are some links to the phenomenon: http://www.youthservices.net/web/gms/testapps/stuff/01.jpg http://www.youthservices.net/web/gms/testapps/stuff/02.jpg http://www.youthservices.net/web/gms/testapps/stuff/03.jpg http://www.youthservices.net/web/gms/testapps/stuff/04.jpg http://www.youthservices.net/web/gms/testapps/stuff/05.jpg http://www.youthservices.net/web/gms/testapps/stuff/06.jpg i don't know what could be causing this. maybe the lens isn't interfacing and sealing up correctly? maybe it's just one lens? (the lens that these shots were taken were with a Tokina ATX 28-70mm f/2.6-2.8 --maybe it's just that lens?) could there be a light leak through the prism? or maybe light is getting in when i change lenses? i plan on taking some cheapy kodak film and taking all sorts of odd shots in bright sun to see what combinations is causing this light leak. in the meantime, it would be of tremendous help if anyone else with a PZ-1p with similar problems could email me. Almost certainly not a light leak. Looks like a reflection of some sort. There seem to be parts of the image, or parts outside the image, in the streaks. It's intriguing, whatever it is. Would like to know the answer, when you find it. Suggest you make some experiments to try to define the circumstances of occurence. mike

re: light baffle (pz-1p weird light streaking on negative)
Hi, So I just looked at my PZ-1p and my ZX-L to see what's going on. And I am not exactly quite sure what is 'missing'. So I am looking into the camera, lens mount towards me. With bulb mode, I fire the shutter and the mirror flips up. I don't notice anything amiss between my PZ-1p or my ZX-L to suggest that something fell off. Could you explain to me further? Thanks! -Raphael I've seen this before. Look in the mirror box of the camera. You are looking for a reflective surface inside the mirror box.

(Was tear to your eye) Well, it was kinda like doing reconstructive surgery on a species you've never seen but I managed to put the poor beast back together as far as possible. Stole a focus screen from a PZ-70, bent everything back to what I guessed was close to its proper shape. Removed the lens lock pin completely (and none too gently) Loaded a roll of cheap film, taped the door shut and, burned off 36 frames in about 7 seconds! Jeez is that motor fast! It focuses properly, exposure seems OK in all modes, flash works, all the controls work, viewfinder's clean. This thing is very cool. I THINK all I need is a new screen, the retainer clip for it, a few parts for the lens lock assy and a new back door.That's all! :-( Don (Insomnia has it's uses) I better hang on to that manual for now. ;-)

RE: Well I did it, a PZ-1p
You'll love it (when/if it works). I used the Z-1 and Z-1p for 13 years (At work we still have the Z-1p, which has not been used since I got an *ist S). The user concept of this camera is brilliant (modes and HYP-modes). The best user concept I have ever tried. I t beats the *ist D, because of the optional aperture ring setting. Other than that it's very similar to that of the *ist D. In fact one of the reason I never really got used to the MZ-S (with a Super A user concept - mode shift by aperture ring/time wheel).

RE: Well I did it, a PZ-1p
I use a product called Pliobond made by Ashland Inc. It's like contact cement but stays pliable and can be, with some effort, removed. Looking at my SF-1 and SF-1n bodies, 2 have no rubber on the grip, the other 2 have the rubber attached with the same double sided tape camera leatherette uses. Pliobond or contact cement should work fine. Clean both with alcohol first. Does anyone know if these came either with or without the rubber or are 2 of mine just missing? The 2 without are very clean, like there never was any rubber at all.

Re: Well I did it, a PZ-1p
Seems to me that the used price of the PZ-1 and PZ-1p seems to have dropped since the release of the DS. I was looking for a second PZ-1 body before Chistmas, and the prices seemed higher. As the lens prices increase, film bodies decrease. dk On Wed, 23 Mar 2005 13:08:22 + (GMT), Kostas Kavoussanakis [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Wed, 23 Mar 2005, Trevor Bailey wrote: I picked up a PZ-1p off Ebay on Sunday for $200 USD.

Re: Well I did it, a PZ-1p
Good luck with getting it up and running - with my Mz-S in the shop I have used my Pz-1p for some slides lately, and it is a joy to work with. It will never happen but if Pentax had just upgraded the AF and metering (the 8 segment metering in the Pz-1p was good, but not as good as the 6 segment metering that replaced it) they would of had a killer camera on their hands. The Mz-S is nice - but a bit of a niche machine as the design ethic is unique unto itself and specs are good, but limited in some regards. - MCC - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mark Cassino Photography Kalamazoo, MI www.markcassino.com - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Original Message - From: Don Sanderson [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PDML pentax-discuss@pdml.net Sent: Tuesday, March 22, 2005 12:05 PM Subject: Well I did it, a PZ-1p A broken one of course. ;-) http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemitem=7501012913 We'll see how good I am at fixing Z series.

Harry Mayer (hmayer12) has one on eekBay for $350.00 mint also. I was very, very tempted but if I can fix this one and sell the 70-210 I should make out pretty well. If I like it as much as some do, a mint one can be had for around $250-$275 going by recent auction prices.

FS Friday - PZ-1p socket cover
Paranoid that I was going to lose the cable release socket cover on my PZ-1p, I tacked one onto another order from Pentax CO years ago and still have it, even tho the PZ-1p, alas, is long gone (and the socket cover never was lost).

Re: PZ-1 versus PZ-1p
Don, I own and use both. Bought the PZ-1 first and still like it better for slides. Flash compensation is easier with the PZ-1p, but rarely used by me. Frames per second is a bit faster on the PZ-1p also... Overall, they feel identical and are identical to use. Regards, Bob S.

PZ-1 versus PZ-1p
The Z/PZ series is the only Pentax series I've never had the opportunity to use.

Re: PZ-1 versus PZ-1p
Don, I have one of each in active use (or usually do, but the PZ-1 is in Colorado getting its health restored). I would definitely go for the PZ-1p. It's smoother, quieter, more grippable, has (slightly) faster AF, better pop-up flash coverage, easy flash exposure compensation (making fill-flash much easier), and more convenient access to custom functions. The PZ-1 has a couple of power zooming options the 1p doesn't have (two zoom memory settings instead of one, for example) but I'm not using power zooming lenses anyway. The PZ-1 also has an intervalometer, which I have used exactly twice in 12 years and 500+ rolls (I thought it might yield interesting spontaneous party candids. It doesn't.) The PZ-1p can be had for a song on eBay these days. A midwestern camera shop had one up earlier this week, factory refurbished with a 1y Pentax USA guarantee.

PZ-1p versus PZ-1
I agree with Rick that the PZ-1p is the better of the two, for the same reasons -- easier flash compensation and more refined custom functions. The only PZ-1 I would get would be the groovy looking 75th anniversary silver/black, one of which went for a pretty reasonable price on ebay in the past month. Did anyone besides me notice those four FA primes appear and disappear at KEH in less than two days?

PZ-1p for sale in Canada
Hi everyone Im also very attached to my PZ-1p. I bought it in 2000 after much consideration. Several camera store owners had lambasted it as a bulky dumb ugly body that was outdated. Luckily for me, I didnt believe them. I began to read the glowing reviews on this camera. Then, I tried it out and was hooked! Im sure those salespeople I talked to had NEVER picked one up before. But now I want to switch to digital. I have a big project coming up for my studies and dont want to spend the $1400 I had to spend last time on film and processing. So my PZ-1p is up for sale. Heres my ad: Pentax PZ-1p body for sale here in Canada. This PZ-1p lives up the camera's outstanding reputation. The cameras hyperprogram interface is outstanding and is extremely intuitive interface. The camera is in good condition cosmetically and in excellent mechanical condition. It has been very well cared for. The camera has several fine scratches on the pop-up flash, on the LCD panel and on the baseplate. As with so many of the PZ-1p cameras, it has that common small crack next to the screw on the camera body baseplate. These scratches are small and unless you're a perfectionist, they won't bother you in any way. The camera is in outstanding operating condition. This includes the body, mount cover, and camera strap. Im asking $400 Canadian dollars but will negotiate. But I'm a university student now and need the money for a project and so must give up my prized camera. I have several hi-res digital photos of the camera if you'd like to see it. Buyer pays actual shipping costs. Thanks Ray
Problem with buttons on back of PZ-1p
Hello, everyone. It's been a while since I've posted to the list. I have a quick question. The exposure compensation and metering mode buttons on the rear door of my PZ-1p have just failed. Does anyone know the easiest (cheapest) solution? Wasn't there once a databack (time/date stamp thingy) available? Is that something I could buy and install myself to solve my problem? Is it still available anywhere? Is there a better solution? Thanks, Rob
RE: Problem with buttons on back of PZ-1p
The back can be removed easily so you might just buy another one to replace it. Or you may strip down the back and see which part needs to be replaced (the rubber probably) and order from Pentax Parts Department. It will be much cheaper this way.
