The lens in question is the SMC Pentax-F 17-28mm f3.5-4.5 fisheye zoom.
Here's the situation... the store I work for, Don's Photo, ordered one of
these in for a customer who changed his mind about taking it. Now we have
to get rid of it, and Winnipeg is too small of a market to do that easily.
Also check out the MZ-5n. It lacks multi exposure and 1/4000 shutter speed,
but it has better metering options, a glass penta-prism for a brighter
viewfinder and a bit tougher build (I can't verify that one, because I
don't have a MZ-6). The user interface is much different, with an old style

Full helicoid extension on the 100/4 macro gives 1:2 magnification and
requires plus one stop exposure correction. Adding the 50mm tube permits a
magnification range from 1:2 when the focus ring is on infinity (the same as
the fully extended lens with no tube) to 1:1 when the helicoid is

To clarify any confusion I may have caused, TTL metering DOES NOT eliminate
the loss of exposure that goes with lens extension, it simply corrects for
the loss without requiring any input from the photographer.

In general, the serial number of the bottom plate is just the bottom plate
serial. Which means that if the bottom plate is changed, the number will
tell you nothing about the camera. But assuming the original plate is there,
the number probably make sense.

It's possible. Pentax has been awarded several U.S. patents recently that
describe precisely this kind of technology. The question in my mind is
whether such a camera will be 35mm or medium format. Seems likely we'll
find out in September.
Anyone know if the MZ-S is still selling well?

The
real battle area for them is in the 645 arena. This is an area where
both Contax and Mamiya are working with that very concept. Pentax
would have better luck putting there efforts there.

The 645E was not that successful, and I don't see how it will hurt the

The worry here is that it will attract newcomers to medium format and a
