I'm considering selling my "Like New" PZ-1p. I purchased it in July 2001 from B&H and it has had less then 25 rolls of film put trough it. It includes the databack, grip strap, and FK-60 (Golden Section) screen. Everything includes the boxes, manuals, and other accessories.

David, Thanks for describing the steps you took. My PZ-1 does not work the same. I put a #2 K extension tube on it with a FA28-70. I got the same exposure reading when I used the SPOT button or not. The only way I could get different exposure readings was to change the PF for spot or center weighte

Dave Dixon, you got me thinking and looking. Now I am confused. Here's what I know about my PZ-1. Set the PF (personal function) at CE for center weighted metering. Put the K24/2.8 on the PZ-1 and open it to f2.8. Focus on that lamp across the room. The camera reads 1/60th. Press the SPOT button,

I'm a different David, but I'll stick my oar in. I've tried your expt below, with a Z-1, and a SMC-M 200/4. I can definitely get spot metering - a four-fold difference in exposure changing between centre-weighted and spot. However, if I change Pentax function 1, so that activating the "spot" op

The manual tells you which functions will work with the relevant lens type. It does not mention anything about the contacts. The lack of relevant contacts is why spot metering doesnt work with k or m lenses. Cheers Shaun [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Shaun wrote: The manual tells you that. Spot o

Sorry you are annoyed. The PZ-1 manual is ambiguous about spot metering. It doesn't tell you clearly what is going on. Page 41 states that Matrix metering doesn't work. ("When a lens with no lens information contacts (lenses made before M lenses) is used, the center-weighted metering mode is

Can't say what the manual says for the PZ-1, but if you have the camera, try it. You will not get spot metering with any of the K or M lenses. That's how mine has worked since the first day (although it took me a long time to know this!). Try it in a dim room with a table lamp and a wide angl

Joe, Actually, I think the winder speed is closer to 2.5 fps for the PZ-1. It just isn't particularly faster than a winder. The PZ-1p is closer to 4 fps (very similar to the 3.5 fps of a Motor Drive A for a Super Program). It is not as fast as the 4+ of an LX Motor Drive. I thin

Rob, Motor drive on PZ-1 is slower, 2 fps vs 3+ for the PZ-1p. No annoying Panorama frame lines in PZ-1 viewfinder, no Panorama at all ! Some functions get buried in the PF options on the PZ-1. It seems like they brought some out of hiding on the PZ-1p. Spot metering with old M & K lenses work
