Okay, I have begun the hunt for a film body to try something new(lol) and to sate my CBA until I can afford a K7. I've done some research but there are still an insane amount of models to sort through. I have some criteria and would like some suggestions.
1. VF should be at least as good as my K10D
2. It must have manual mode, and preferably Av and a program mode or two as well.
3. A good metering system (preferably at least center + spot)
4. AF would be nice but not neccessary
5. Good build quality
6. Under $150 USD (so MZ-S and LX are probably out of the question
)
So far I'm leaning toward the MZ/ZX-3 or 5n because they are newer and have good features.
Other models I'd like feedback or opinions on:
- The rest of the MZ/ZX series (Still trying to sort this mess of a series out on Dimitrov's K-mount page but its giving me a headache)
- PZ-1P
- SFX/SF1n (these seem to stir up little or no interest on eBay. Is there something wrong with them? It seems like a good model)
- ME Super
- KX, K2
- Super Program
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me, also feel free to suggest any other models!
