Thanks for the explanation Roland.
I have been in touch with Pentax U.K. and they told me the *ist SLR
should be available in the U.K. early April.
Rather than buy a secondhand body will wait a few weeks for the *ist.

The *ist will not meter properly with K and M lenses (1976-1982) set
Thanks Alan and everyone who gave me advice on a suitable body for the
Pentax prime lenses that I am in the process of purchasing.
At the moment I am waiting for the *ist SLR due in April, if it is not

and newer). To put it simple - if the lens as an 'A' setting, then
everything is fine. If it does not, you have to compensate manually with the

I don't have a severe problem with the ZX-M and in fact would recommend to
