Latest Review Posted | Pentax Z-1 / PZ-1 I recently bought this camera second hand for a ridicolous price.
My first Pentax in the mid 90s has been a Z20 and I was curious what the top model of this generation does offer.
This "upgrade" provides me with DOF preview, spot metering, faster shutter, customizable bracketing and handling very similar to the digital bodies.
AF and viewfinder are nothing special: Mid 90s AF with only one focus can be worked with and the viewfinder is not bad but not great, either.
Popup flash mechanism on mine is broken. Since I do use an external flash this is not an issue to me.
I can recommend the Z-1 to anybody who wants an AF-film body. Given the low price I cannot think of a reason to go fo a lower specced body. |
