Photo Walk Sydney
Lens: SMC Pentax FA 50mm 1:1.4 Camera: Pentax MZ-s Photo Location: Sydney ISO: 100 
Posted By: Parbs, 04-07-2018, 02:11 PM

An afternoon photo walk in Sydney with the MZ, few things can be more relaxing set the camera in aperture mode and concentrate on looking for images, your head out of the boat as the saying goes. What a great camera, light, compact, intuitive every thing falls to hand as it should. A large bright view finder with the information you need to be confident that the image is what you are planning. When the light dims and you want to change out to a faster lens, no issues pop the lens off and a small indicator light comes on to help line the new lens for mounting, very neat. Need to adjust the exposure no issue dial in some compensation with out moving you eye from the finder, too easy.
You can tell that I like this camera and for good reason. Sadly though as this was the swan song for Pentax SLR's its a shame that we only got to see one edition of this camera, had Pentax been able to develop the MZ-s to a second edition.

Even though the shots are a little too dark imho the shots are still detailed and give a dramatic effect.
