Originally posted by sahara888 if I purchase a lens with K mount(not KAF) would I still be able to use MZ-7 ability to find correct exposure? Just by setting aperture and f-stop manually and checking exposure scale in viewfinder?
Sure can.
For "A" type lens you might disregard below as it should meter close in all modes.
For 2 lens types below, Av or Manual modes desired.
Can share what Ive encountered in using "K" and "M" series lens with my ZX-M
and ZX-L's and relate from K20D also.
In using both those series of len's on K20D, have found on average I have to add
-2/3 stop EV compensation( Lets say outdoors, 2 hours after sunrise, 2 hours before
sun set)[-,negative EV = increase shutter speed, ie. from 1/100 to 1/180]
With that experience in hand, have applied in same manner to 2 film bodies mentioned
and its fairly close. A lot of variables there, Im sure it will not be a perfect fit for you.
Might save you a little film though, as you shoot and establish your own baseline.
