Alek,
There must be some kind of a language barrier here.
Read my post again, Mark's too. I did the same experiment.
I used a K24/2.8 lens (wide angle lens) with the PZ-1 (Z-1 by you).
I was 6 feet (2 meters) from a table lamp that I focused on.
The lamp just filled the finder [ focus ] area.
So it is strange. I also did similar test with the lamp. But centerweighted meter is
quite similar to spot if you fill the finder with light/lamp for instance and not only
in this case.
I shall check in manual. But if it does not work it could not be dispalyed if you are
working in spot meter.

So FA 200 macro must be much better than C/N counterparts.

Keep in mind, this is NOT on a PZ1, it is on the MZ-5n.

See the post I just sent. The PZ-1 will not spot meter with K M lenses. The PZ-1p
will do so.

Hi,
In one case you are wrong. You have spot with K and M lenses. You should push the
buttom on the back of the camera and there is a chance to change from spot to center

If pressed I think the FA* is slightly better but significantly larger and heavier.

Some of this is not rightly described.

Do you have a diagram that shows which contacts to mask off on the K and

You can check out this page and determine exactly which part of the lens
mount (not camera mount) to mask (just use a ruler to measure the distance).
You need to use a little imagination on how to do it. I

I just did more tests (using Kodak grey cards) with my A70-210/4 M135/3.5
lenses with my MX Z-1p (centre-weighted). Here are what I have found.
M135/3.5: requires -1EV compensation on Z-1p
A70-210/4: requires -1/3EV compensation when the lens is set to 'A'
A70-210/4: requires -2/3EV

Alek,
I never had any problems with the PZ-1 exposing slide film accurately. Any problems
with print film were masked by the corrections done by the print machines.
The PZ-1p seems to be a bit off (1/2 stop) with slide film, but just fine with print
film. And I don't think you could judge
With A 50/1.7 exposures were great. The difference is with older lenses.
So now you have MZS.. Better than Pz-1p?I have read some reviews and many people

Hi
But I have not written I use print film!!
And you wrote that with PZ1p you had 1/2 stop but over or under?rather overexposure...
So Pz1p usually overexposure and PZ1 not?
So maybe it is better to buy another PZ1 instead of PZ1p?
Do you know if I can do flash compensation with PZ1? For instance
Flash exposure compensation is possible on the PZ-1, though it isn't
as convenient as on the PZ-1p.
With the PZ-1, use the hyper manual program and hit the IF button
to set the program exposure. Then dial in the exposure compensation.
This won't affect the exposure settings you just made when

The PZ-1 I have does not overexpose when using K or M lenses. But I have
