Well, was this just an empty rumour or what? If so, quite a good one with pictures of
the camera and the box it came in.
Anyway, it would have been nice with an MZ-S with magnesium back and weather sealing.
Anyone with any clues?

G'day Pål,
You probably don't know me, I'm a relatively recent subscriber.
The only reference I've seen to this camera was hidden in the Nikon to
abandon Film thread of a couple of weeks ago. Tanya wrote:

Now I wish I had kept the source of my mis-information. I have no idea
who it was.
Oh well. That's disconcerting, because if it had been true, it would
have exposed something about the M bayo lens of which I was unaware, and
#2, possibly impact any decision to purchase a *ist.

I am very confused myself with this thread, but I think that by M they
mean M42.

I thought it wouldn't meter with K and M lenses (like the first firmware
version of the ist-D)?

Yes, I confirm that. The *ist features no diaphragm simulator, just like the
*ist D, hence with pre-A lenses it will

Can you call this compatibility? Pentax says it depends on how you define
I thought the question was in regard to the *ist D. My mistake.

Yes, I confirm that. The *ist features no
lenses; all with aperture rings. As my
Limited lenses are chrome and my current MZ-S is black, I want a chrome MZ-S this
time. I hope the MZ-S Limited will also be available in chrome finish. The volume of
5000 units may perhaps indicate that Pentax will sell it outside Japan or is the
demand

Pentax just can't afford to invest much in film anymore.
Want a future collectible? Buy an *ist (not the digital).
It'll go down in history as the last 35mm film SLR from Pentax.

I think someone was talking about buying a *ist before they go out of

He said it was a fine camera, and probably the last of the film SLR

Well, at least Pentax apparently plans to continue the MZ-s in one form or another for
awhile longer. Why else bother with upgrading the battery grip? I too think it is the
last higher end Pentax
I may have missed something.When was this new battery grip announced? Is
there a link?
Thank you

complained about the plasic back. Now it has been implemented
on the MZ-S Limited.
The number of 5000 is very high for such a camera in these digital times.
I wonder if it is available in chrome as well.
It's a pity we apparently have to buy a Limited lens as well in order to get the
upgraded body
alone!

What I would most like to see on it is some form of aperture control
from the body. In these uncertain times, the lack of that would stop me
and many others from buying any new SLR. I know a fair number of people
who have wanted an MZ-S but on weighing things up

Really?
And I thought that a lot of people want to use the aperture
ring... instead of control it from the body... :-P
Personally, I don't mind either...

But apparently, the last of the SLR range will be out soon and it is the

It is the slightly cosmetically improved MZ-S with the previously

improved button-seals
I'll take one!
